It is only natural to expect a certain amount of extra scrutiny when doing a job at a young age. If your performance is good enough, this should take care of itself soon enough. But coaches can/will twist anything into a negative.
On any given night your age can be used against you: "WHY DID THEY SEND ME THIS ROOKIE?" against your partner: "The kid is twelve years old and he's way better than you." against both of you: "Hey, kid, take your grandfather and go on home."

Big Deal. Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. is 99, and he's still working games.

No matter your age, they test you. I got into HS refereeing when I was 44 and in my 1st local varsity game, the coach worked me. Learn from it.
The more you work, the better you get, go to camps, do summer leagues. |

Certainly a combination of age and lack of familiarity. At least that was the case for me when I broke into V games. Proper play calling, proper mechanics, confidence, using voice, and good sharp whistles show them you're capable of handling the game. Beyond that, they will test you to see what they can get away with, so focus on professional communication, giving short, rules based answers to appropriate questions and then warning/whacking when necessary.
