At what age did you start playing football, and what impact do you think it had on your body? (alien.top)

A friend of mine has a 6 year old boy, who has just joined a Premier League clubs pre-academy group. After speaking to some of the parents, he has found out that some of the boys there (6 and 7 year olds) play 3-4 matches at the weekend and train everyday, sometimes twice.

I think that is too much and have advised against following suit, but was wondering if anyone here thinks their body now suffers from playing too much football at a young age? Or maybe not and you are fine?

Edit: I'm not looking for pro footballers opinions, anyone at any level.

started at 6 I think. I played at an youth team of an bundesliga team and it made me hate playing football. As for my body I think I got pretty tall because of it. Got good Vision and tactical thinking. Hope thats english
