Is there a recommended age to start programming?

Hi everybody,

I have a friend that is the owner of a programming school focused on teaching programming for children.
We are planning to start a course to prepare children for programming competitions like codeforces.
Our major doubt is: What is the best age to start competing in programming?

I've started competing with 17 years old, I think it is too late. But I'm not sure if too young children will enjoy it a lot.
It will be very pleasurable if you guys share the age that you have started competing here :)

Thanks!!!
