How old does my child have to be to play football?

My child turns 7 in December what age group is he/she in?
What ever age your child turns in that calendar year, that is the correct age group for them. In the above example, the player would play in the Under 7 competition even though they won't turn 7 until the season is over. It is possible for players to play above or below their correct age groups and you should contact us if you wish for your child to play in another age group.
