What is the youngest age to play soccer?

We have received a lot of inquiries from parents regarding what is the youngest age to play soccer.

Well, basically as soon as children have learned to walk and run.  In my opinion, age 4-5 is the best age to start joining soccer programs.  My son started when he was 4 years old and he still loves to play soccer.

Usually, most of community centers in BC offer mini soccer programs for kids aged 3-5.  Such as “Mini Stars Soccer” at Killarney Community Centre and Kitsilano Community Centre.

After that, if your child wants to continue to play soccer, which is a great sport to play, you can sign them up at a soccer club near you.  The youngest age to enter into those soccer clubs is U6 (age 5).

If you want to be the perfect soccer mom or dad, you need to encourage your child and take part in your child’s soccer activities.

Remember don't force a child to play soccer if they don't want to.
