I'm surprised that your area is still using innings. I thought everyone was now using number of pitches. The reason for the rest is exactly that giving the youngsters arm a rest. The reason why the pitcher can pitch up to 6 innings on a day but not 3 innings on consecutive days is because the arm takes some time warm up. Just like when your exercising, it is easier to continue to exercise then to stop and start up again. Same with the youngsters arms. Don't push them, many a 14 year old can't throw anymore because they overthrew when they were younger.
