I have a 14 year-old whom I would like to get involved in officiating but not sure how to go about that.

I am 16 in a few weeks. I finished my basic training the 20september 2004. So I've been calling games since I was, 14.
And I'm not the first one to be that young calling games, how ever I am one of the youngest to take what we call districts referee training (starting this next week). This certifies officials to call games up to the second division men and women. I never call games where the players are older then 18 though. I'm starting to get higher games though so we'll see what happens.
I'm not sure I have never seen or heard of an official who is 12 years old though...
