You should tell her that Joey is really good at physical activities. However, you think he is a little young to play on the soccer team. She might want to wait a couple of years. Most children do not develop the coordination between gross motor movement skills, visual tracking, and visual attention to be able to play fast-paced team sports until the ages of 7 or 8.
