One thing I like about it is you can learn what the position is like and the person you are helping can teach you good practices and other sorts of important things a manual cannot.

Also I think there are certain positions should (more often than not) be filled by adults. Like said before it all depends on maturity. I think I could be a good ref but there are some people on my team that I don't think are ready for it if asked.
So are you saying that I could be a non-lead (assistant) scorekeeper?
Or a ref if I'm mature(which I am if the situation calls)?
I need a little clarification.
