Question is, how do I position my players? Most of the girls won't hit the ball past the pitcher. I want to use a standard defense and maybe push in on the corners on smaller batters. Most of my players are below average fielders, 1st year players and 2nd year players that were the victim of poor coaching. What would you do?

Id play my all infielders inside the base line, 3rd 10ft in 1st 5-7 ft in. A second basemen that can cover first and make the play. agressive pitcher and 3rd base(also good arm/footwork). ss hide your weakest player at ss.Work on rf backing up 1st, and making outs at 1b. Eric
