I believe a child can start as soon as they can hold the baton or virtually any age.
One of my daughters started twirling at seven and competing at age nine. She tried parade marching, but decided that she does not like heat exhaustion. Now, she takes private lessons and goes to competitions. She just won a first-place tropy for special beginner solo. She also takes gymnastics and ballet classes.
The other has been holding her baton since before she was 1 year old. She is three, now. She can do the flat spin, lasso and stir the pot. The important thing is that the baton is helping her develop coordination. She is working at walking on her toes and splits.
Sara recently started to do front and back kicks. She can also pull her leg up in the back ....all the way to her head.
