Wow - totally disagree on that point. Not taking anything away from basketball, but I think Futsal is great for keepers in terms of learning when, and how, to come off their line, since it happens a lot more in Futsal than in soccer. Keepers, also, are going to face a lot more shots over the course of a game in Futsal
- certainly not nearly as large of a goal to defend, but a lot of quick reactions vs point blank shots.

Winter Basketball was more developmentally beneficial for our experienced GK over winter training break. Not the only correct answer for every position or player.
OP here,
Can you talk more about that? My kid is a GK.
He'll play some futsal with his club, but the question is what he plays at school, where futsal isn't an option. Why do you think Basketball worked well?

Why should that be the question?
My kid isn't old enough for MLS Next. Some people's kids are girls.
