To prove that they had the will and cunning to be a soldier.
In ancient Sparta, boys at the age of 7 were taken from their mothers and went to live in barracks to begin military training. At age 20, they were declared fully-trained soldiers and put on active duty. At age 30, Spartan soldiers no longer had to live in the barracks.At age 7, Spartan boys were taken from their mother and began military training. They lived in barracks with other boys.
They started training at the age of between 5 and 7.
When they were adults - 18. Before that they were cadets - just the same as in today's societies.

No, there was no school for spartan boys. From the age of six; legitamate, pure spartan boys started their rigorous training for the army.
Spartan boys were taught to fight, kick, spit, bite, scratch and get into fights with other boys. Athenian boys were learnt to be polite and to be civilised.
because they believed that Spartan boys had to fight like warriors and if they did not be like a warrior you will dieok fool bye
Yes.
yes they did
After the Spartan boys successfully complete the "agoge" (the Spartan training for boys) they were elected to a barrack mess, where they were to eat their meals and spend the majority of their time with his messmates. this ensured that when the mess fought together as a unit in battle, the young spartan would be loyal to his mess and possess an "esprit de corp".
Spartan boys did not sleep on mats. They slept on reeds. They had very hard and uncomfortable beds with no sheets or pillows.
Athens was very far from Sparta, there would not be any Spartan boys there.
Spartan boys were trained to be warriors from an early age. This culminated in a test where they were tasked to kill a slave by hand to prove their manhood. At this point they were accepted into the Spartan army.
If xstone count as a toy. Then, yeah they did. As a matter of fact even spartan girls have had teddy bears :P
