 No sir, I'm not looking for an internet argument nor an apology 

 You do you! I just thought it could've been a better way & wanted to see what you thought.

 I hear you, but it's

 That is for you & your superiors to decide... 
I understand the safety issue as well. 
Around here kids are allowed to "play up" an age group or two & due to that experience, I've noticed how much more skilled they are when they go back to playing their own age group. Not always a bad thing.
