The coach should be ashamed.

I would pull my kid out of any team that pulled this sort of stunt.

I'm sorry, but trick plays are the best part of pee-wee football. When I used to play, I always looked forward to running trick plays.

As long as it's legal, it's fine.

I'm sorry, but this play is not legal.
From the National Federation case book:
Rule 9.9.3
"...actions or verbiage designed to confuse the defense into believing there is a problem and a snap isn't imminent is beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal."

the ball was legally snapped, so u can't use this rule. no where during the play did they trick the defense into thinking the ball wasn't going to be snapped.
