Where is the competitive sports rule policy stated? If it's in a school handbook or other document, I would question the current school board about whether they realize what the wording even is (it may have been that way for awhile) and whether that's really what they want to promote at the middle school level. It would help if you had other parents who felt as you do, who could address the school board, too, and bring along any documentation and studies you can find to support your position. Most schools are taking anti-bullying policies seriously these days, and there should be an effort to develop cooperation and working together towards common goals, not pitting kids against one another to gain a spot on a sports squad.
