I know you're not ASA up there in Canada, but the ASA rules that pertain are ASA 1-QUICK PITCH and 6-10B. The definition of Quick Pitch is particularly helpful (Rule 1), because it referes to the batter taking "...a desired position in the batter's box..." IOW, it is not just being IN the box, but in the box in the batter's desired position.
There is no penalty for a quick pitch - it is just a do-over (i.e. a "no pitch"). Although, if I had a pitcher who continued to ignore my hand or my "play" signal, I'd give the coach (considering the age of the plauyers) an official warning & after that, continued ignoring of my instructions would result in ejection of his pitcher. 6 times in one game is too many.
