re: Tactical precision, Mental quickness

what age do kids start taking footy serious over there? i know in america kids start playing when theyre 4-6, but even for the best ones it doesn't get that serious until at least age 11 or 12. if you dont live in an area with lots of competitive soccer being played it might not get serious til high school, at that point they are so far behind their actual potential it just becomes a hobby so to speak. also i could be completely wrong about all the ages, but this is just what i'm guessing based on my experiences.
