Finwitch:

Not necessarily.

I can figure that 5-year-old twins began this practice because they 
wanted to be Gryffindor Beaters 7 years later. Fred improvised some 
stick for a beater-bat - now they just needs a bludger. They might 
try some rocks first, but Molly won't allow it (what mother would?). 
Then Fred improvices a softie-bludger: Puffskein.

Ron gets terribly angry about that and he breaks Fred's toy-
broomstick. Fred gets angry about that and so the Teddy-bear into 
Spider incident happened. You didn't think 3-year-old Ron just went 
and broke the broomstick? Not strong enough, but Revenge for the 
Puffskein would bring magic out...

As to where they came up with an idea of becoming Beaters for 
Gryffindor? Suppose that Bill's two best friends who also happen to 
be twins made it to beaters on second year(meaning the position will 
be next vacant on the year Fred&George will be on second year and 
able to try out for it...)
