The turf pitch... rubber pitch...parquet pitch... plate pitch are all futsal. Futsal are played with various different pitches. Only FIFA approved pitch requires the pitch to be non-abrasive. Meaning the pitch must be solid and flat... and can't have holes and cracks.

Got any videos for futsal GK training? I'm 'bit short of those. Thanks.

Maybe you might miss out on this post regarding goalkeeper training tips.

Ermm; I mean futsal goalies. Can't use football trainings for futsal. Totally different. Some of the things that I've tried to incorporate into my training sessions based on futsal goalie training videos will make eyes pop out; as we've literally had pasers-by just stop walking and staring at us like we're a bunch of lunatics. And they're considered pretty basic stuffs by brazilian standards.

Training clip for futsal goalies... Hope you don't break your back... Well it's actually a training for handball goalies... but it's similar...



I don't think there's much technique to learn from a goalie except improving their reflexes to save those shots. As i know passing are very important for a goalie as well beside learning to throw and roll the ball accurately. Leg passing is important coz a goalie needs to be able to pass well. Sometimes, a pass is being delivered back to him and he needs to react fast by executing a fast and accurate pass to his players.

Lastly, i wanna stress it's all about ya reflex... if ya reflex is slow... ya gonna be a sucky keeper. And having a sucky goalie means you gonna concede hell alot. The most important player in futsal is arguably the goalie for there's only 1 goalie per team while 1 team have 4 on field players. And by having a good goalie or a sucky goalie in ya team gonna give you a difference in actually having a winning team or a losing team...

Hmm; watched that video last time. Nothing new; since the training emphasis is different because handball doesn't require goalies to dive; and you can't shoot within the D box. Thus; not much emphasis given on physical conditioning and one-on-one techniques. Here's some of what I have; but like I mentioned; online for me doesn't have much sources of videos for futsal goalkeeping training:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2qm5u_te...ut-futsal_sport

http://www.uefa.com/trainingground/index.h.../1048576/685200

Actually; you'll be surprised that in goalkeeping reflexes are important; but not that important. Anticipation and how you use your reflexes; recovery and positioning especially are of much higher importance. Thus the focus of futsal goalkeeping trainings are actually on getting used to mixing divings with one-on-ones; recoveries; body positioning; body movements; proper hand and catching techniques; proper one-on-one techniques; proper diving techniques; fitness and etc. etc. The belief is that with these focus; reflexes will naturally improve.

That's why keepers naturally get better as they age; even though their reflexes get slower. With experience; they learn how to use their reflexes wisely and only when required 'cause reflexes are a double edged sword; 'cause once you commit to a dive or a save; you're left exposed until you recover. Thus; it's the application of when to dive and use the reflexes that is more important than reflexes; per se.

The rest of my videos are on a DVD I bought online together with Howard for use with our training couple of months ago. It really was an eye-opener and a pain in our bodies for us; at that time.

I don't see why you say you are short on futsal GK videos then. Looks pretty completo and alot of tips to me.

If you can follow and execute those techniques mentioned, i see there's no problem in being a very good futsal goalie.

But it think those tips still proof to be useful to those who wants to know how to improve their goal keeping.

Well, my college futsal keeper he's a pretty decent futsal goalie so to say, he does have a special training to train up his reflexes. He goes for hockey goalie training everyweek for i think he's in the malaysian draft hockey player for goalie.

Nolarr; I'm always on the lookout for new vids marr; since you happen to seem to have alot of them...

You know; you always learn new things marr in life.. So; just trying to learn lorr. Hmm; maybe hockey goalies need reflexes training larr; 'cause the puck's so small. I got invited to join an Ice Hockey team in the Malaysian Ice Hockey league last time; and yeah, they do focus on reflexes quite a 'bit; 'cause you're holding a stick at the same time.

the key to be a good goalkeeper is focus and fast reflex..
must be aware about ur team mate cuz u can see all movement from behind..
also dont be so cocky to dribble ball to other side..
1 more thing make sure u got proper gear for goalkeeper..
try use long pants cuz futsal surface can damage ur skins while trying to save a ball..
short pants are nice but must equip shin protector or knee protector to avoid serious injuiry...

my technique..
stay on "kekuda " and dive to biggest opening..
try catch the ball or punch it away from opponents..
gewd luck

i usually play as a setter in volleyball, nak tak nak second ball in my volleyball is my ball whether it is far for u or not...
my hand reflex must be good to do that...
when i play goalkeeper in futsal, my frens said my hand reflex is fast becoz i played volleyball regularly..
but i hate playing goalkeeper in futsal... i also hate playing as a setter in volleyball but i'm only 162cm, can't spike so sharp.... no choice
