There is no "official minimum age" to start officiating in the US because there is no single governing body for this. For instance, one association to which I belonged has a minimum age of 18, another 16. However, in the rec league I administer, we start training refs and giving them games once they are freshmen in high school. This would translate to age 13, 14 or 15 in most cases.
There are always some legal implications, so many associations will not offer membership to anyone under the "legal age" of 18.
