The center, while a team is in scrimmage kick formation is afforded protection from a direct charge from the defense until a point in which the snapper has had an opportunity to defend himself. (ask the umpire when that happens)
Your league has put the center is a dangerous position by declaring that he cannot move but allowing all other activity to proceed as normal. Some coaches, apparently, have seen the loophole in the rule and are taking advantage of it by "not hitting the center".
I wonder how long it will be before a center's leg is broken because he's been told not to move?
