The easy answer to this question is no. There really isn’t an ideal age. You might have someone like Misty May Treanor who starts playing volleyball at the age of three with her athletic parents go on to medal in the Olympics. And then you have someone like Logan Tom who started playing volleyball at the old age of 14 who also went on to medal in volleyball in the Olympics. I don’t think it really matters when you start kids in sports, when they’re ready they’re ready…it’s what they do with that talent that makes the difference.
