football teams for 8 year olds

[alethea]

Hi there,

I have really struggled here and didn't realise the complexities of my 8 yr old son being able to play for a team.

He would really like to play for a team and I think it would be good for him, however I missed all the trial deadlines and the ones that he did to he was too young for.

Can anyone enlighten me to how I might be able to get him into a team or what options are available. He does currently do drop in sessions which are good but I wondered if there was anything else.

Obviously I'm not just assuming that he will get in and would have to be good enough but I think we might have just missed the boat on it all.

Thanks

I would be interested in this also for my 10 year old son, who will be 11 in April 2016. We live in Sydenham, 5 mins from the station. Thanks, if you can help or offer suggestions.

Not sure if this counts as a "team" but Football Magic run classes in Dulwich Village that are great. There is also a team for this age group that practices in Honor Oak but I can't think of the name at the moment.
