Many things: Many things on list of possible causes. Tendonitis or Patellofemoral syndrome would top the list at your age if no history of acute injury. ICE to area after activity for 20-30 minutes, anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or naproxen as well as activity modification (decrease activity) until better. If no better in 1-2 weeks, see doctor for evaluation. Hope this helps. Best of luck with this.
