I'm thinking the people that are making these rules must have been picked last for the kickball, basketball, baseball, etc. teams in gym and at recess. Suck it up and let it go. Life is exclusionary in general.

Freeze tag and recess is a way to get these kids up and moving to stay in shape or get in shape. I wish I had some recess right now.
