Below are the rules within 2023 Arizona Lacrosse League (A.L.L.) bylaws.

High school programs shall have players who attend the 12th, 11th, 10th, and 9th grades. Following the conclusion of the JHS season, a player who attends the 8th grade, and who has completed junior high school season play with the below restrictions

1.) Only in specific cases where a high school program’s head coach deems it appropriate.

2.) Upon the written recommendation of his junior high school team head coach, accepted by the appropriate high school team head coach.

3.) Play for the particular high school program for which that player would be eligible if he were attending 9th grade at that time; provided that such player must first be re-registered to do so by the appropriate high school program’s head coach, Provided that doing so shall not establish or determine such player’s team eligibility at the time such player actually attends the 9th grade or above.

For purposes of this provision, the class grade, not the age of the player, is the relevant criteria for distinguishing between playing in a high school, junior high school, or U6 program. The restrictions of this provision apply to all games, scrimmages and practices.
