Hi,

They can start to play the game at any age from 5 onwards.  As far as training is concerned, first let them enjoy the game and develop a passion for it.  If they don't then no matter how much training is prescribed, they will not reach their potential.

Usually at 10 to 12 players can start thinking about more regular training.  By 14 to 15 if they are still enjoying the game then they will start to train more days per week.
