I always ask the coach in the pre-game what he wants to do. At the sideline, I confirm that with the speaking captain, as does the umpire with the opposing captain.
I never offer "kick" as an option. In fact, I usually tell the winning captain "You want to receive/defer, right?"
Nothing good can come from making a team kick off twice in a game, unless that's what the coach really wants to do.
