How do you handle this?

To find out how strict you need to be, contact your liability insurance carrier and let them be your guide. Whenever I have to tell a player not to play and a coach or parent gets snippy about it, I end up saying, "I can't afford to lose my house, my car, my kids' college education." Refs DO get sued when kids get hurt, and kids DO get hurt. If your liability insurance won't cover you, you'd better not take the chance.
