So is teaching kids to play the game the correct way..regardless of whether it may not be optimal in terms of W and L's at that age..
If you're taking the outs they give you and it leads to winning the game, you are playing the game the correct way.
The game changes as they get older/competition improves. As long as you're teaching them the game and helping them learn and advance as they grow, it's fine.
And, I should say, even at older levels, it can be helpful to keep it simple and just take the easier out. That's not playing the game incorrectly. It's playing smart.
