It's probably going to be a while before your "Youth Football" players have to adjust to NFL rules, and they'd be better served if they concentrated on the NFHS standards, which don't allow for a lot of "resetting".
NFHS: 7-1-7, "After the ball is marked ready for play and before the snap begins no false start shall be made by any A player. It is a false start if:
a. A shift or feigned charge
simulates action at the snap.
b. Any act is clearly intended to
cause B to encroach.
c. Any A player on his line between the snapper and the player on the end of the line, after having placed a hand(s) on or near the ground, moves his hand(s) or makes
any quick movement."
All judgment, as to whether specific movements by A players violates the above provisions belong
EXCLUSIVELY to the field officials. Younger players often try and emulate and imatate what they see on TV, but that can cause unnecessary problems that coaching, specifically to the NFHS standard, should avoid.
