Coach, you're better off trying to talk to the officials ahead of time if you can, or maybe someone from the association that is supplying the officials- just to make sure that they understand the rule.

Yeah, this makes sense. Petition the state to let this kid play in a 4th grade tournament.
Might be smart to talk to whoever is assigning the thing though.
