I will echo ... local rules are made by fools. This one is not horrible, but even as simple as it is, anyone can see the problem it creates.
My favorite from a local league is "Linebackers cannot blitz". Multiple issues with that:
1) No official definition of "linebacker"
2) No rule stating how many linebackers there must be or a maximum on how many linemen there are.
3) What does CANNOT mean. Unable? No... unallowed - ok ...but there's no penalty listed. So what do the officials do? Say, "stop that?" and move on?
4) More importantly, define "blitz" - ask 10 people and you get 10 different answers as to what a "linebacker" may do (again... what's a linebacker ... by rule at least?)
So... undefined players are not allowed to, but not penalized for, doing something equally undefined.
