We deal with this in 7th and 8th grade ball a lot. "No blitzing" means something different to different coaches.

There's also a 150lb limit on running with the ball (if someone 150lb or heavier possesses the ball, we are to blow it dead). Typically this is done by putting a stripe on helmets of the heavy kids. And too often we deal with coaches complaining that a player is too heavy and isn't marked. How are we to know? Sure coach, I'll just pull out my handy portable scale and weigh the kid.

Local rules stink, and make our lives a headache.
