Billy Elliot

I see where you're going with this - also it's set in the 80s
I'd say All The Right Moves is more of a coming of age drama, whereas Billy Elliott is a child.
The biggest difference though is that playing football in the hope of getting a scholarship was encouraged to the point where the guys felt under constant pressure having the town's hopes riding on them - by contrast, in Billy Elliott, a boy doing ballet was frowned upon and he'd have met opposition and ridicule in his hometown in addition to the other problems (unemployment, poverty and the pressure to escape).
Finally the football scholarship, for Tom Cruise's character anyway, was simply a means to an end to get a college education so that he wouldn't be dependant on the town's mills/factories keeping him employed. If the didn't make it to the professional game (and in all likelihood he wouldn't), he'd be an engineer and could work anywhere.
In Billy Elliott, becoming a professional ballet dancer many years later was really the only endgame.
