Intent has zero bearing on whether or not it was a foul. If a player mistimes a challenge and catches another player it's a foul even though they didn't mean it. If he has to use his arms to get that high he's leaving the referee with a decision to make if he then catches an opponent in the face.
You don't get a free pass just because you're young and it's your debut.
