I'm guessing here, because I don't know squat about Dixie, but I bet the NO PENALTY clause in Dixie rules is for 12 and under age groups. Generally, most leagues have rules that don't have penalties for balks for 12 and unders, since they can't lead off anyway. Exception would probably be PONY baseball, Mustang league, where bases are longer (ie 70 feet for 11-12) and leading off is normal. At age 13, things change. I bet there is a Senior Dixie division that would call balks.
