Tell him to keep up the futsal, as much as he can. Still play in an outdoor team but under 20 y.o focus should be on futsal. The ball skills etc developed will undoubtedly fast track a player's outdoor football abilities.
In futsal you get the ball far more often so you learn to feel comfortable on the ball & protect it, you get protected by the refs, you learn to react much sharper, read the play & see attacking moves unfold much more quickly. =d>
Futebal de Salon, (indoor football) is the reason that South American players have awesome skills. This is where Brazil generate their Jogo Bonito from, players like Rubinho & Ronaldinho.
Overall it makes you a superior attacking player,(even if you are a defender). \:d/
