At what under age level can a child easily move clubs, at U10 could a child easily switch clubs?

Up to and including U11 can switch - the 'home' club cannot object. In Dublin they must still transfer during the designated window though.

So my son is 11 in August and plays U10 for a club but its really not working out and he has a load of mates in the other local club, so if he sticks it out this year - they usually finish in September he should have no trouble switching to play u12 next year?
What do you mean not really working out?
What I said.
I think he means his lad isn't enjoying it. if that's the case, get him moved or he'll end up giving up the sport.
Or maybe he means he's an outstanding footballer but he has little chance of silverware with the retards he plays with now and would have a better shot with the "other" local club.

Or it could mean the complete opposite and he wants his lad to have a chance to develop in a different environment. At the end of the day that is none of our business, as has been said move him to where he feels happier and don't think again about it.

As long as he hasnt played U12 football yet he can transfer without issue. If you need specific info pm me
Retards? you ignorant p***k.
I don't think Collie, to be fair to him, was suggesting the weaker kids were that but that that was how 'Zip code' might have been interpreting his sons team to be, i.e too useless for my little Johnny.
My own view is that kids should be allowed transfer without any hassle from one club to the other.
"So my son is 11 in August and plays U10 for a club"
If he is 11 this year he shouldn't be playing U10.

Some counties have a cut of date as the 01/07 for certain age group's. It coincides with the school year.

That is an outrageous statement.

Again - gobsmacked with this remark!
I'm sorry I got involved now!! Just to clarify, I don't think either poster was actually calling any child a 'retard' and I certainly didn't view your phrase 'not working out' as meaning your son was too good for his current team. I didn't view it any way as I think a child should be allowed transfer regardless of the reason.
I think Collie Brolly specifically called children retards - he must be really proud of himself - lets hope he never gets involved with any activity involving children with those views.

Is there no family connection to any club in the area?
There is a family connection to both clubs - one on my side one on my wife's side.
in fairness eery one know he was talking about them in a football sense , no need for any one to get on their high high horse about it.
Different kids are good at different things .
some of the best footballers i iknow were idiots in a classroom and vice versa.
and some of us were just great at both
if some one want to exprerss that in a less sensitive manner it no ones job here to police their language except Ziggy and the Mods
Dear lord, talk about an overreaction from the Joe Duffy brigade.In fairness it wasn't the greatest remark pc wise that I could have used but the point I'm making,which at the time I made it but since has been clarified by zippy,was that the lad may be better than his teammates,say for example they may be playing at a lower division where standards in terms of training and prepation may not be as good as what's on offer down the road.Of course it could also be the other way round re the teams.
It's like this,where he be happier and more importantly he can move immediately without it gettin messy.Won't get into it but I have a similar dilemma comin up next yr when me own lad starts out.
Unreserved apologies to you Zip Code and only you,if you were offended and good luck to the young lad.The rest of you come off your high horses,you are spouting bigger bile on other threads.

I'd not worry to much about it Collie, the OP can spout a fair bit of bile out of him too..
