We had this situation in a Pee Wee game and another Ref told me that the ball had too be touching the tee.
I couldn't find anything in the rules that support this statement.

I'm sure you won't, but it seems like a candidate for a discretionary ruling against. If one team wanted to litter the field with various items during the game, you probably wouldn't let them, even though I don't think there's any specific rule against it, so what's the justification for this piece of litter if it's not doing anything constructive for the game?
