    It depends on the child if they r very active and want to start now go start them at 4, 5, or 6 in flag football so they can learn the fundamentals. The league we coach in if you wait till they r 7 or 8 they would be way behind.

    When the child is ready. Start by going to watch other kids play then ask him if he wants to join in if he says yes then go for it.
