At Balaklava we start them in the "mini-mini's" (U8) from 5 as this is the age from when they can be registered with Auskick. From my years involved with this grade some other clubs will let them start younger. However I found that even with the modified rules there is a big enough difference from 5 to 8 years old without having younger kids playing.
