Robert,
I concur with Mike Sears and will add that no such rule exisits or has ever exsisted in my 32 years of NFHS Football.
Perhaps you are confusing it with another code?

As for youth level games: Remind them, remind them, and then re-remind them. If you do find it necessary to throw "any" flag in a youth level game, you should also find the time to make darn sure the kid you threw it on understands why you threw it. That's why some of these are called developmental leagues.
