Another question about something British! :-)

In Winter Holiday, when commenting on getting an extra month of holidays, John says it's luck its not the football term because a month might make all the difference about getting into the eleven. There's two things that are puzzling me - one is thought that "eleven" was a cricket team not a football team. The other is if John could get on the school team wouldn't he be a lot older than everybody thinks?

Thanks for your patience with my questions! Jenna
