Actually, my local kids rec league has a different philosophy. Even as low as 3rd grade, we make the correct call, then explain it to the kid. This way they remember the rule and that there are consequences to not following the rules. We don't embarrass them, but are very nice and "instructive". It must work OK to do it this way because we've been doing it for 30 years and we can tell there is a much lower number of these infractions as the season moves along.
