i started officiating bb when i was 13. i live in wisconsin, and they encourage younger reffs to get certified. When i was 14 i was doing middle school games. Call your local middle school and talk to the athletic director, or talk to the director at you school. they'll help you, get a mentor, have patience, you'll get there!
when i was 15 i was doing guys jv, so i know in some states, at least wi, it is possible, i think now you must be 18 in order to officiate above a freshman level. go watch games, find a good official and talk to them, good luck, and stick with it, i agree w/ mark. the higher up you get the better it is. I had a 7th grade game last night, coming off a jv game, and it was hard. like anything, it gets easier.
