The infinate article is definately needed here, as well as with "I am AN adult", not "I am adult".

When writing a compound sentence, if you get confused, change the sentence around and test the sentence.
When I was child, I played football. (doesn't work, does it?)
When I was a child, I played football.
Therefore,
I played football when I was "a" child, is correct!

Yes, "a" is needed. "Child" is a noun. It is better to say "When I was a child, I played football," because it prepares the reader/listener with important information, rather than allowing them time to form their own conclusions. Your sentence is grammatically correct.

Yes you need the a.

Football without "a" is just "footbll", and who wants to play that?

Always wear a cup and in your case, a helmet.

You need the "a". You also need correct capitalisation.

The sentence is correct with "a".
