But I'll try and read between the lines.

1. Sharply hit ground ball in the infield R2 is 30 feet from second when the relay either hits R2 or the throw sails (relay man clearly trying to avoid hitting R2) over the first basemans head.
If it hits the runner we have TO, and a double play becuase of the INT. If he throws over his head, I'm probably not going to call anything. As Carl would say, tell the coach to quit playing freshman in the infield.
The pivot at 2B should take them out of line of the runner.
2. Right fielder playing in. Fly ball to short right the ball drops in for a Texas Leaguer. R2 does a pop up slide or goes in standing and makes contact (not malicious) with the fielder on the base R2 is clearly safe beating the throw at second BR makes a wide turn at first the fielder may or may not have a play on BR.
This is not a FPSR since its a base hit. A pop up slide is not an illegal slide so the runner has done nothing wrong unless he intentionally interferes with a play. Again whats the fielder doing on the base with no play?
3. Slow grounder in the infield R2 goes in to second standing up and is out on a close play. The athletic infielder makes a great play avoiding physical contact with R2(throw doesn't appear to be altered) and retires BR and R1 obviously scores.
You answered your own question, he didn't interfere with the play thus no penalty. There is not a penalty for going into 2B standing up unless you interfere with the play.
4. No outs and nonone one base. BR hits one down the line for extra bases. BR does a pop up slide or goes in standing and makes contact (not malicious) or no contact with the fielder on third. The play is close but BR is clealy safe. [/B]

What's the question here? The runner did nothing illegal, only what he's required to do. Tell the 9th grader to get off the bag. He'll learn sooner or later.
