I *do* include kick as an option, just after receive and defer to the second half -- I may include a slight pause in there to see if they already have one of those two choices in mind (which 95% of captains will), but I'll say kick or defend a goal eventually.

The point I want to see discussed is the point I made earlier -- when the kid says "we want to kick" how many people would just give him that option without explaining the consequences? To be honest, I like my wingmen too much to subject them to the continued abuse they'll get if the same team has to kick off twice because of some simple misunderstanding.
