I hope to see football gain more popularity in our country. This sport can greatly benefit our young children aged 7-10 years old in developing their mobility, coordination, and motor skills with constant running and lateral movement.

We all know that is also the case in europe, the americas and africa. It really helps develop foot speed, agility and also "vision" (set ups in futbol are steps ahead). I really think it helps develop speed even in eventually very tall players, especially laterals.
One country that futbol is not famous...China. And we all know how fast/agile their players are.

I agree very much. A lot of pinoys probably think that futbol/soccer is not popular in the US. But that is far from the truth. It is initially the team sport that most american kids play. Most of them play organized soccer at around 5-7 years old. That's why there is the term "soccer mom." Most kids, both boys and girls, get introduced into sports through soccer.

In the US,by middle school alot of kids just stopped playing soccer,since they outgrew it,their size just way too akward to play the game,hence they gravitate more to American football,basketball and baseball,with some of the fast kids going full at track and field.

Emphasis should really be on basics fundamentals - shooting & ball handling. At a young age, dapat fundamentally sound na yung mga players natin. If this kid ends up 6-foot-7/6-foot-8, hope he has the skill set of a Carl Tamayo but with an athleticism of a Francis Lopez."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Lower than that height, he really needs to learn how to play like a guard. In a top US youth program, right as you join them they tell you...if you're 6'5 and below, you're a guard. With that rule, they continually produce D1 level prospects.
He needs to work on his ball handling while also playing up where he isn't the biggest or strongest. A level where he actually needs ballhandling and shooting. His goal should be to achieve those guard skills by 14-15 right before the usual big growth spurt.

at least he's allowed to handle the ball
The thing is, he is still young enough to acquire very good ball handling skills. At his age, it will probably take 3-6 months of proper and consistent ballhandling training.
Once he can handle the ball comfortably, he can play up a few years. Let him play against older competition as a guard, get him used to how guards move.
