My football obsessed 5 year old has recently started training with an u7's team.
He isnt legally allowed to play for the team until he turns 6(April) but the coach asked me to bring him along anyway to still be involved.
A few of the other parents and the coach have said to me that he 'is gonna be some player when he grows up'.
Not sure how true it is but I have been told that scouts dont bother coming to kids football anymore and that it's up to parents to arrange trials with clubs at a cost to them!
Obviously my lad is way too young for those kinds of shenanigans but has anybody else got any experience of this or is it bullshit?
