It would create a fair amount of backlash if legislation forced those programs to allow everyone to choose where they were comfortable. There is also room for creating a framework to make those programs more inclusive.
This is why I think you can just handle it on a case by case basis until you get to college or high school or whatever level of the sport where things get serious.

As far as I know - there are no specific rule for a kid who just dominates his youth sport league to the point where no one can compete. They just figure it out and move the kid to a league where its a challenge for him and fair for everyone else. I'm sure we've seen our kids or even ourselves play against some kid who starts growing before everyone else or is just miles better than every other kid his age - it just seems to get handled without becoming a national story.
