Our team is mostly high school (grades 9-12) but we have some middle school kids (I think we decided on calling them "Jr. Members"). It did not occur to us that there was an issue until we tried to sign them up in STIMS last week and it requires you to be 13. I don't think that the purpose of this rule is to prevent those under 13 from joining teams. I might be wrong but I believe that you are required to be 13 or over to create an account on any website on the internet without a parent legally.
