Three Year Old Kid Plays Football

[0lgi]

He doesn't know the alphabet, but his left foot is amazing. When it comes to football Charlie Edwards is no dummy. He is already catching the eye of soccer scouts at the tender age of THREE! Talent scouts have been watching what his parents have seen for over a year - bags of energy, control, co-ordination and a sweet left foot. As soon as he could walk, 13 to 18-months-old he could play with star quality, and former Manchester City and Macclesfield Town player Steve Hodgson who now runs the local Football Academy has been amazed at the accuracy and power the three year old can strike a ball. "He's twice if not three times his age limit. He's three now and he has played competitive matches with seven and eight year olds

This is really amazing , he is just 3 and he plays football !

I watched this on the news the other night. And you know what I thought. I thought, "So whats so good about that?"
My three year old son, kicks his football with both feet and quite well at that.
And he loves playing baseball in the backyard, and yes he can hit the ball on the fly with his miniature baseball bat. I even tried throwing plastic golf balls to him and he smacks them all over the place as well. He was hitting the baseballs on the fly 12 months ago.

Isn't this normal practise from a three year old?

So in saying this I reckon if I dressed him up in a NY Yankees Jersey and rang the news crews then maybe he'll be on TV as well. But I wouldn't want to be branded a parent who is pushing their kid at such a young age.

At first I read it, with the though of US Football... Didn't make since to me how a 3 year old can compete with 6-7 year olds in US Football. :hehe:

Pretty cool though how young he is.

Ahhhh! You mean soccer, lol.

Anyway, this is pretty cool. I wish I could play a sport as well as this kid when I was 3, I wonder how different my life would be.
