It is not playing down or up! It is actually playing with his age according to US lax . There are plenty of kids that are just as old or older who have been held back a grade by their parents playing in the same age bracket. What is the difference? This is the only way to get the kids who are the same AGE playing together! Just like every other sport does it. It doesn't matter what grade you are in.
