Warrenkicker...is this the only rule you choose to ignore or are there others?? I always give the captains all the choices available...if they choose to kick, I ask to make sure I heard right, but I always give all the options..I think that you are penalizing Team B by not giving team A all of the options....If they choose to kick, then team B should have the option of the goal to defend...by taking out the Kick option, you in effect take away options for B....

Nope, this is the only one.
By saying that this penalizes B is a reach. B would never have gotten both options without A's mistake. A's coach is going to come over and ask why he has to kick off both halves and wonder why you didn't stop his captains from doing that. I know it's not our job but that won't stop him from being mad.
The last time I had a team try to kick was a grade school game and even after clearly telling them multiple times what that would mean they still wanted to do it. After that I decided that NOBODY would have a problem with leaving out the kick option. Kids don't always do what they are told. Haven't had a problem since. If they want to kick then by all means they can.
