He’s the clear choice

I have heard that if your middle school has no team, as in our case, no soccer team, that an 8th grader can play on the high school team (if, of course he or she has the talent and the coach wants the player). I can't find any documentation that is specific enough to support this claim. An 8th grader played varsity soccer at Science Hill, but it is a little more clear cut because SH is a comprehensive school encompasssing grades 8-12...pretty smart move. Anyway, I am looking for info regarding this topic. It seems to me that it would be a no brainer, at least for an 8th grader to play on the freshman or JV teams, but I am interested in knowing how the TSSAA views this issue. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this!
