There is no official rule that governs who makes a team and who doesn't.

Now, a high school can not pick up kids who are too young (I think the athlete must be in at least 7th grade).

Depending on the situation, I would have to wonder why a coach would want to make a move like that. It could have something to do with developing talent over an extended period of time.

But honestly, I would need to know a little more about the situation before I weighed in too much.

The reason for me asking is that my daughter tried out for the softball team and was cut. She is a freshman, but they took 3 eighth graders and 3 seventh graders.
