I understand in all of the above. Except...... I don't believe middle school players should play high school sports period. Why? If my 14 year old is a great auto driver and better than anyone in the state. Show my 14 year old be allowed to get a drivers license? Even though he/she is better than anyone in the state.... If you answer NO, then why should they be allowed to play up. Is it a double standard.. There are rules. You can't have one without the other. No matter how good they are. You can't be President until you are 35 yrs old. Even though a 32 year old would make a great President. Why? It is the law and rule. I think I made my point. End of discussion

One problem with that.
Drivers licenses and age limits for presidents are the law and the rule.
There is no law or rule about being in the 9th grade to play high school sports, except in football and soccer.
