Hello DFP,
I wanted to get opinions on how to coach kids in 8u rec.
Given how new some girls are to the game, a lot of times if you ask them to throw to another defender in game 90% it'll be a wild throw. My question is, do you keep having them make this throw (thus leading to passed balls and runners taking more bases) or try to limit opportunities to throw the ball (a lot more running to stop lead runner, for example like running from shallow OF to stop a runner at 2nd).
My hunch says to keep letting the girls throw but it leads to chaos when wild throws are happening left and right and a single becomes a little league home run for the other team.
Thanks
