I don't think there is an exact age, it is more about what is right for your family and kid. Every kid is different and every family is different. Start when it feels right for you. You also want to consider the team. There are a lot of horrible managers / coaches, finding a great team is also something to consider.

Most travel baseball programs start around 8U, although some organizations offer introductory teams for 7-year-olds. The right age really depends on a child's skill level, interest, and readiness for the extra commitment that comes with tournaments and travel. If you're comparing travel baseball with Little League or wondering how age eligibility works for youth tournaments, this guide is a helpful reference: https://littleleagueworldbaseball.com/
