But they cannot touch the center until ball in touched in backfield, so close gaps and will help.

It’s not true that they cannot “tough” the center.  They cannot charge “directly” into the center.  If they shoot the gaps and make contact with the center it is legal.

Actually, that is true zebra! Check the rule book. Page 30 section 19. Special rules governing 3rd and 4th grade tackle football.
