There's nothing quite like a technical foul in a meaningless youth game (yeah, I know somebody's gonna flame me for saying that. Get over it.) to teach a young man or woman not to reach across the line. It's quick, relatively painless, and long lasting.
Prevent what you can prevent. But don't withhold a valuable lesson just because they're young.
