Proposed rec league rule change

I didn't see the highlighted part till now. Earlier when I read the postings, I didn't take into consideration the ages. Now that I've re-read this and see the ages, I'm curious what age group this proposed rule is being considered for. If it's being considered for the older kids (JH and HS), then I think it's a terrible idea. For the younger kids, some variation of this rule might be handy, but not in the format suggested. There has to be a better idea out there, such as the automatic 1 point and ball OOB that someone else suggested.
