I think it depends on what you men when you say "competetive football".. all games are competetive.
I would be apprehensive about 8yr olds having the pressure of a career in football put on them.
I do have an example.. a few years ago one of my son's played in a tournament held at Crystal Palace ground.. it was in two batches, 10-12yrs and 14-15yrs..my boy played in the 14-15yrs final held at the Arsenal ground (Highbury)..Fulham and Chelsea and of course Arsenal had scouts watching and 4 players were asked to return..all were 12yrs old!
They take em young!..but I was most proud of my boy when he refused to have his photo taken in the Arsenal trophy room..Good lad!
