Dads - what age did you let your kids take part in any organised 'training' rather than just messing in the park?

Mate of mine is taking his 2.5 year old to this in the summer - http://www.kiddikicks.co.uk/ and asking if mine wants to go as well.

Mine's same age and loves booting the ball around the park but I don't think he can be tethered. Don't want to be one of those super keen dads either. Plenty of time and all that.

Anyone done it/similar? Any good?

If you want your kid to make it in life it's already too late, Nani didn't start until 2.5 and look how thick he is.......I'm calling social services

That sort of thing won't be serious at all.
Non competitive games start at under 8's and even this year (at under 9's) its still classed as non competitive (although its far from that).

Our club run a saturday club and they tend to start from 5, nothing serious at all just a kick about and the odd kid sat on the halfway line playing with the grass

My lad started at 5.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, take him along and see if he enjoys it*. It's hardly gonna be super-organised drills and laps of the pitch...just a few little games and stuff.

*the most important thing

Ta. I'm thinking about whether its a waste of my money and time though I suppose. Dont want to sign up for 6 weeks if he's just going to ignore the instructor/run around trees/throw rocks at the other kids/chase pigeons. (he's not a dog by the way but quite feral)

imvho I think at 2 y.o. he's too young, you're better off with a kickabout in the park.

If you read carlo's blog on this subject you'd be mental not to take your kid along as long as you're not invloved in the set up. It sounds £#%&!ing hilarious

What Ged said, if you are unsure just leave it for now.
I was itching to get scholes jnr playing football and 5 was just the right age for him....i know others lads who are just getting into it now at 9, there is no set rule.

Both mine started at 7 - but it depends on the kid. At that age you'll know what their aptitude is and if they like it or not.

My 17 year old finishes this weekend with the club he joined 10 years ago. For his testimonial I'm planning to finally tell his coach what a fat, "give it some altitude defenders", obnoxious, useless, cockney, "winners", "second ball", tight short wearing, Chelsea track suit wearing, gimpy eyed @#%&! he actually is.
