If the defending team had a player that regularly moved the ball from one side or the other and kicked the ball b-4 it was stopped, how many times would you guys allow this before you Y-card for P-I? The level of play is U-13 classic so the kid should know how to react to referee instuctions.

I would only card this moving from side to side if I considered it a time wasting tactic. Then I would write it up as UC rather than PI. That's probably just a matter of choice for each official, though. It sounds like more of a teaching opportunity to me. Even @ U-13 they can get so excited that they don't let it fully come to rest.
