The theory is that kids at the younger age don't have the range for outside shooting and a zone that packs it in is too difficult to play against.

Then both can play zone and work on their outside shooting.
These rules are stupid. Aside from not defining what is actually prohibited (I can have a team play a zone that few would recognize as a zone), it fails to teach a very important part of the game.
A defensive 3 seconds rule MIGHT be a suggestion, but I wouldn't want to get players into bad habits.
