I started reffing when I was 11 (that was soccer -- didn't do BBall until I was 13 or 14). Your age is going to make some coaches assume you don't know what you're doing -- show them that you do. Learn the signals and give them sharply -- appearance helps a lot in looking like you know what you're doing. And read the rule book. And read it again. And again. When you play you learn a lot of rules, but you learn a lot of them WRONG. If you read this site regularly, you'll learn a lot of the rules that most people don't understand, and have a good place to ask questions. Good luck and, most importantly, have fun.
