[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The original intent of these rules were because there were some HS that didn’t have enough numbers to have full teams for JV and Varsity[/b]. Instead of taking away highschoolers opportunity to play on a JV team because not  enough players, they would substitute with eighth graders that were at a good enough level. But now, For an eighth grader who doesn’t even go to the school to take the spot of somebody already on a team is not the intent and spirit of this rule. Things have just gotten insane when it comes to sports competitiveness, etc.[/quote]

Was this "original intent" stated anywhere?  [/quote]

Not PP, but an earlier poster pointed out that it is a VHSL rule, not an Arlington County rule. So it absolutely makes sense that it was written with the intent of allowing a smaller school to field a team.[/quote]

The rule is "may" allow 8th graders. FFX doesn't follow this rule. So it is an APS decision. They have influence on whether 8th graders can play or not.
