Some Christian school conferences, with very small school enrollments, allow middle school age kids to play with the high school varsity team. We have such schools here in Connecticut.

I believe that there are a few states that have very small high schools in rural areas where middle school age kids are housed in the same building as high school age kids, and these middle school age kids are allowed to player in the high school varsity team. Our state interscholastic sports governing body does not allow this here in Connecticut.

Under such conference guidelines, it would be possible to have a twelve year old playing with a seventeen year old.
