5th grade is still elementary school 6-8 is middle school. It depends on what school you go to, some schools think the fifth grade is old enough to be with the older kids. If you are talking out of school you can play any sport :)

Yes, almost every school's sports team is very safe, if you want further info you must talk to the school.
Yes, 6th graders should definatley play sports only meant for 7th and 8th graders. Whats the big deal? Soon they will get faced with a bigger challenge in sports and this will help prepare them for it. Also the school can make more money from the games
Unless you are dealing with private schools, 7th graders are not allowed to compete any higher than at the middle school level. By rule, 8th graders can compete at the Junior Varsity High School level, but only in sports where there is no program for that sport offered at the middle school level.
