In Sparta boys were in the military from the age of 7. Spartan girls stayed home with their mothers but took part in sports to become strong for when they have their own children.
They weren't in the 'military'. They were put into something called the 'agoge' which was military-style education. They lived in barracks and their education was focused on teaching them how to be strong and brave and loyal to Sparta. They didn't focus on literacy or reading but were taught songs about war and winning.
At the age of twelve they were only given one cloak and barely any food but were permitted to steal as long as they weren't caught (being caught would mean a severe punishment). This was to ensure that they were able to cope with the conditions that could occur when they went to war. They also had a 'mentor' which would be someone from the gerousia (the elders who were seen to be the wisest Spartans, you were lucky to reach sixty in ancient Sparta) who would punish, reward and tutor accordingly.
When they turned eighteen they were sent into the wilderness for a year with only a dagger; where they would kill helots (the slaves, normally prisoners of war) and have to survive in extreme cold and heat with only the food they could find.
After this they would enter the military but wouldn't become a Spartan citizen until they reached the age of 30.
Spartan girls were trained with the boys until the boys went into the agoge. They were taught to be strong and brave too, during the joint education of boys and girls they could taunt boys for being weak and praise them when they did well to inspire the boys. They also had to walk naked in processions which would encourage equality and stop them being embarrassed (a thing of weakness) and apparently showed them to be prospective wives! (bachelors weren't allowed).
After the boys went into the agoge the women continued their physical training for the rest of their lives as it would prepare them for pregnancy and childbirth and they thought it'd encourage good genetics and also, when the men were at war it would be the women who were left to defend the state.
