I have had the experience of using an 80 yard field for 9-10 year old games for the past 5 years. The rules are basically the same but the penalty enforcement is different. Instead of fifteen yard penalties, we only give ten yarders. All kickoffs are from the prospective 30 yard lines. All kicks after a safety are from the 20 yard line. The only reason we kept it at the 20 was because at this level, most of the kids couldn't kick the ball more than 20 or 30 yards anyways. As long as the rules are laid out before the game, placement of kicks and penalty enforcement, the game itself should be able to play itself.
