In his childhood, Ball often played basketball against older opponents, facing teams of fourth- and fifth-graders while in kindergarten.[3] He started working out and training by age four and first competed with both of his brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, at age six.[3][4] As a seven-year-old, he also began playing flag football with his brothers. While Lonzo was a quarterback, LiAngelo and LaMelo caught passes.[3] On the basketball court, LiAngelo grew up playing with his brothers on Big Ballers VXT, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) under-17 team created by their father and coached by both parents.[4][5][6]
