NY (our district anyway) 7th graders have to play MS "modified" (shudder... scary bad and dangerous IMO to have serious ball players throwing lasers to girls still afraid of the ball and flinching away from good pitching). In 8th they have to take a seriously hard physical fitness test as the APP (advanced placement process) is looking to provide the proper channel of play for the exceptional athlete, not just let any girl try out for the HS team. Even then after passing this test 8th graders can only be considered for JV or V if there is room on the roster without the coach making any cuts to existing rosters.
