We are hosting a new tournament December 12-13, the Atlanta Showdown, and I'm realizing there are no rules for the 7v7 play when it comes to the playout line (U9 & U10). Since we are first to go, I'm adding rules specifically about violations to the playout line (opposing team must be behind the playout line when the keeper has the ball and on goal kicks). My plan is to have a first warning for punts then a punt will result in a throw-in for the opposing team at midfield (I think U9's and U10's are more likely to forget and punt, so I don't want it too punitive like an indirect kick). I'm unsure what to do for a violation of the playout line. I could see a U10B Academy finals where the opposing team keeps jumping the playout line to waste time and/or to steal the ball. My current draft is to award an indirect kick at the playout line for the team with the ball. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
As a side-note, I think I read in the Q&A posted on a previous link that the field dimensions from US Soccer are MAX field dimensions. We have already lined our 6v6 fields with the 47x30 and smaller goal box (no playout line yet). It is a very small field, especially for stronger U10 Academy games.

The first time a team violates the playout line for a game it could be a warning and a rekick. Any future violation could result in an indrect kick at the playout line like you mentioned. Any other obvious delay of game tactics would result in a official yellow card warnings etc like any other delay tactics.
