Some roles require some level of maturity. For example, there's a reason that very few refs are high-school age; most are at least college-age. Same for inspectors and judges (at least where I've volunteered). There are a large number of reasons unrelated to technical ability, more social engineering than anything else.

However, a large number of roles (Spare Parts, Field Reset, Safety Glasses Attendant, and Awards Assistant come to mind readily) don't have those restrictions, primarily because all you really need is someone in a volunteer shirt who has some idea of what they're doing.


I've volunteered as Field Reset and Spare Parts (and Field Setup/Teardown) at events my team competed at while I was in high school.
