I coached 13 & 14 year old boys for 8 years & then 18U girls for 11 years after that. I always had my catchers & pitchers call their own games. But it was done after we had many discussions after practices. Myself, all my catchers & all my pitchers with the whole team involved, were shown how each opposing batter was going to be pitched to. I even gave my catchers the authority to set up the defense accordingly. Once the teams realized that it actually worked, then I never had the desire to call a game. I have always been blessed with players who understood what I was trying to teach. Positive Communication.
