Does this same Ref tell the team on other downs that they will have run their pass play again or they have to run their sweep play again after enforcement of their penalty?
Must have have been a pop warner level official.

I have had to remind R's are all levels. Look at the wording of all the posts above that caused me to post the gentle reminder. Even experienced R's can slip up, that is why we always have one of the other officials, usually the U, standing with them to hear the options and make sure we get it right.
[Edit: I went back through and counted 7 times that someone used the word "re-kick" as an option, including you Theisey. I am not saying the Ref told K they had to re-kick, I am saying that the Ref used the term 're-kick' instead of 'replay the down' when giving options to R. "R captain, we had an illegal formation on K, your options are decline the penalty and take the result of the play which is {result} or you may accept the penalty, we will go back to the original line of scrimmage, back K up 5 yards and they..." So you have never heard a referee say re-kick in this situation? We should say "will repeat 4th down." but I have heard "will rekick." enough times that hearing it 7 times in this thread triggered a response in me.]
