The referee can award a penalty against a team that is persistently holding onto the ball: purposely delaying or stalling of the game as determined by the ref (#1) after the team has been first warned about its conduct.

No punting or kickball out of bounds to delay time (1 warning given, time stopped. Second fault opposing team will be given a penalty)

The game clock will only be stopped in the event of an injury. If a penalty kick is awarded and time expires before the penalty kick is taken, the penalty kick will be the last play of the game.
