No because leagues allow playing up which means the 7/31 is not needed. You're adding things in that aren't in the rulebook.

This is for next fall when SY starts.

This makes no sense. Are you trying to say that there is 5 year old high school seniors?
Is that against some rule?

This is the one for DC area to use because nobody has found any clubs that just let you pick to have your kid play up an age group for their top teams and the clubs don't seem to care about grade or even officially collect and verify grades.
