Question for those in Utah--Church Basketballl and players on school team. Does

Your stake allow kids on 9th grade Jr. high or Middle School teams play church basketball? The Handbook says they "generally" should not play church ball if they are on a school team (specifically calling out Jr. High, middle school, and high school). Wondering how stakes across the state interpret and follow this guideline.
