My son is 14 years old and started reffing youth basketaball for the first time this year. The youth league he works in said they preferred the minimum age to be 16, but they agreed to accept him since I said I would work with him to help in his training. If I were you, I would start with local youth sports leagues and your local officials association. Youth leagues i.e. basketball, baseball, soccer are always screaming for officials. If your association does not have a "youth recruiting and training" program, you might talk with the leaders about the merits of starting one. Let's face it, what better way for an officials association to ensure a good pool of qualified refs coming up in the ranks than recruiting and training them. Good luck!
