The lance cleats are a pain and hard for newbies and kids to use.
I used the lance cleats for over twenty years with numerous crews including kids and had zero problems.

I took another look at Mikes setup and just noticed that you have the starboard control cleat on the port side. It does clean up the deck and is a good idea. I wonder if this would be confusing to a newbie.
Use colored lines for the easily confused.
