Answer 14

I started really young but my Dad is a volleyball coach and that is why! With sports the way they are now you can basically play them year round.  From school vball to club vball to camps and summer leagues during the summer months you can be as good as you want to be!  Age 9 is good, now just stick with it and get the basics down first!  Good luck!
