Help with football (soccer)..?

Help with football (soccer)..?
I live in California and my parents do not have enough money to put me on a soccer team. My dad can only take me every Wednesday to play a pick-up game with some of his south American friends. My father says I am very talented and that since I can easily dribble and score on anyone who plays against me that I could become a professional soccer player. My dad says he is saving up money and will send me to argentina next year or the year after that to play soccer or get scouted there. The problem is I dont know if this is possible and I cant wait any longer. I just turned 16 and I am 5'4" and weigh only about 98 lbs. I play like south Americans do and strongly dislike America because of their horrible style of soccer and love watching barcelona and the EPL. My dad says I have a perfect touch on the ball and would make a great playmaker and many people have told me this as well. I am so depressed and just want to play soccer with the best in the world but I dont know if I will be noticed.Should I allow my dad to send me to another country and give up all my education for my dream and if I am sent to another country do u think I will be spotted or is it unlikely?

Even if you don't make it professionally you can always go back and earn a GED. I guess what I'm trying to say is follow your heart! 17

No. It will be very hard for a pro team to spot you in another country. There are plenty of youth development programs that US soccer has implemented. The highest level of youth soccer is the US Soccer Development Academy. You should look into that. They play very well and fast. Most of their games are two touch. I am a referee and have done these games before. Trust me you are better off here. Plus you can get a college scholarship.

if you are as good as you say you are, you should keep with you education and play in college! if its a money problem, many colleges give out scholarships to talented athletes. you really need to think about all the possibilities! maybe you do try for your dream.. but Just think of home many athletes with more training than you will be going to that.... its hard to think about but you need to think bout responsibly about it ! your dream will always be there after college, you have several years to become better than you are now, its better to go in as experienced as possible!
