I agree with you. I work for a youth sports organizations that will register over 18,000 kids this year in 14 sports. We use a lot of kids to officiate games, but always at the younger levels. For example, we will use 10-12 year olds to work t-ball games for 4-5 year olds. We will use kids younger than the players to run the game clocks in basketball. We may have a 10 year running the clock for a high school age game, but the on court officials are adults at that level. The only time we come close to the situation you mention is that we will use a high school age official for high school level volleyball games, only because we have a hard time getting enough qualified adult volleyball officials.
