"Playing Up"
There may be a circumstance in which the skill level of a student enrolled at a particular grade level of a sport and the nature of the team/sport/competition warrant the student participating on a team that if offered for students of a higher grade. When an initiative to do so is made, PIAA By-Laws must be followed; coaches, parents, the student and administrators must be in agreement that this move is in the best interest of the student. This option is never available to students below the entry grade level at which a particular sport is offered.
