When we have our pre-season ref meeting for our local kids rec league, we emphasize there are only rare exceptions when it is OK to touch a player. Those exceptions are pretty much limited to trying to prevent a player injuring themselves, such as falling down towards the court. We also tell the coaches at their meetings that about the only physical contact they are allowed to perform with the players are high-fives, handshakes, etc.
