I'm assuming you mean a sports ref. First of all, in most states you can't work any job until your 14 (with a few exceptions, "ref" not being one of them.), so look into your local state's child labor laws. It looks like however according to a quick google search you can become a ref from age 11 (at least in America). That being said, you won't be able to work most likely so it's kinda' a weird situation. So what I would do is explain to your parents that you can't be a ref until they pay for your training, and even after that you can't probably work until your 14.
