Men's league. Step over instead of around. Foot contact to the head. I got a foul and intentional fits the bill. I would have no problem with a brief explanation to the offender of coach if needed.
2 considerations have not been mentioned. First, ignoring the contact would not help to set the tone that intimidation won't be tolerated. Allowing actions that could easily be avoided and have the intent or effect of intimidation can cause a disadvantage. A second consideration is escalation. In some leagues, ingnoring such contact is almost an invitation to retaliation, verbal or otherwise.
