Indoor for Outdoor

Ted,

Let's look at what the international community says the USA players need to adapt to play competitive soccer internationally.

1) Creative moves with the ball
2) Playing under extreme pressure
3) Many more touches on the ball

In my opinion indoor soccer provides all this and is accordingly an excellent game to prepare for outdoor soccer.

My U12G team is about to start league play in Futsal. This is another game that is great for preparing for outdoors from what I understand.

Any soccer oriented game during the winter is much better than no soccer practice during the winter.
