You don't shake hands with the captains before the game? 
In all seriousness, I just don't agree with that. I know we're all concerned about liability or whatever. If two kids are on the ground after a held ball, I offer a hand to each of them. If a kid shows good hustle or good sportsmanship, I'll make a comment and give a pat on the back. If two kids have squared off in a stare-down, I get right between them with a hand on each chest.
I don't see anything wrong with any of these. I know there's always a concern with what someone might say or think. But I'm not so concerned about it that I can't even touch another person.
