It depends on the age category. Youth teams are usually split into divisions by age group. For example, the "U-20" division is for players 20 years old or younger, and "U-17" has players all 17 years or younger. There are more age groups, some places going as low as 4 years old, but these are usually not associated with a particular national team.

Yes you can get scouted over the age of 18 but no for a youth team you will go straight into an academy squad. Normally pro teams and academies like younger players but you can get scouted over the age of 16

Kids can start playing soccer at 3-4 years old, learning the basic skills of kicking, not using hands, and shooting for the goal. You can be any age to be a soccer player. You must be 16 to sign a professional contract, but youth teams start often from 8 years old.
The national teams are limited to players under 23 years of age, with three slots available for veterans 23 or older.

Youth soccer can vary significantly from the standard 11-a-side adult game. Typically, players under 12 years of age will have smaller teams and play on smaller fields with a smaller ball. Upon reaching 12 years of age (the U-13 or U-14 divisions), they play full-sided.Players age 10 to 11 years old typically play 8 per team, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Players age 8 to 9 years old typically play 6 per team, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Players age 6 to 7 years old often play 5 per team with goalkeeper, or 4 per team without a goalkeeper. Players younger than 6 usually play 3 per team with no goalkeepers, on a field about the size of a large family room.These are typical progressions for most sanctioned youth leagues and sports clubs in the United States. Significant variation may exist from place to place, because the Laws of the Game do not specify youth rules, only that certain Laws may be modified for youth play.
There is no restriction on age; players are selcted on skill.
