[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball helps round out a GK's athleticism, jumping, speed, stamina, and ability. Our GK is a thinker and one of their great strengths is athleticism and tactical communication with their team. They PREVENT goals which is a basic tenant of Basketball defense and a stat (as a GoalKeeper parent) I feel is woefully overlooked in soccer. Anyone can be the Keeper in a Futsal game, only great athletes can be the Keeper in a Soccer match or an amazing defensive basketball player. [/quote] Basketball was a great off-season choice for our GK, too, ECNL HS player. Don’t forget HANDS development - the balls are the same size. Grabbing the ball on a rebound in a crowd is more similar to a GK on a corner kick than basically anything in futsal. Which is also great, btw, but not the only choice! [/quote] Packline defense in basketball is a good primer for getting into a low block and defending your final third as a team.[/quote]
