My son, now 18, has little interest in officiating, but has helped me out on a few occasions at lower levels. He started at an early age, pointing out traveling in NBA games on tv at age 6 or 7. (too easy?) His first game on the court came at age 10. It was the last game of the night in our 11-12 division, and I was the only official left for some reason. I looked for an adult volunteer and there was none. I tossed my spare whistle to my son, looking around to see if anyone objected. No one did. As I recall, the game went off without a problem.
