Football ( soccer ) is one of the most played sports for U13's in Queensland ( not sure about Australia ) but the kids tend to drop out around 15 to play other sports or concentrate on school. If he goes through the right club and gets in a rep side he should be ok. There are a couple of schools in Brisbane that offer a soccer excellence program so they do football as a subject. My son has been in one of these programs for the last 5 years and thats how he got his trials in the UK. If he is good enough he can trial for the Queensland Academy of Sport and they have a fantastic program which leads to the Australian Institute of Sport and the A League ( our football league ):D
