I'm in Texas, and most of us stick a foot out. I find the center's waist, and put my foot there, telling the (lower level) kids, "here's the line" followed by a "move up" or "scoot back" when needed. In JV and Varsity, basically, we just put a foot out and they get it. Usually, the receiver will point at me and either say he's on (i.e. tell me where he is positioned), or ask if he's on. I'll tell them, and we'll play.
At the lower levels, if I'm having a problem with a receiver, I'll tell the coach something like, "I'll have a foot out, and tell your player to put his front foot even with mine, and listen to whether I tell him to scoot up or back off." They always say, "OK," and much of the time the problem is solved. In Jr. High, we have to work harder with them.
