Catcher:...If your league does allow stealing, the 10U defensive strategy changes so that the catcher position now has a great deal of importance. Not that 10U girls can throw many girls out that are attempting to steal, but with some work this will become achievable, in particular throwing out slow runners trying to steal 3rd base. Even more important is the girl’s ability to catch the ball from the pitcher. It has always amazed me how few coaches have their girls steal unless the catcher misses the pitch. So, the more pitches she catches, the fewer free bases your team gives up. It’s a lot harder to score from 1st base than it is from 3rd base. Have your catcher work on throw downs to 2nd and 3rd base. You should have a pretty good shot at getting them going to 3rd as the season progresses. The number 1 reason for having a skilled catcher is to prevent runners from stealing home and that's key to a winning 10U defensive strategy.
Apparently, this author has never seen a good 10U catcher in action.
EDIT: That said, the catcher described is pretty common.
Seriously, I bet Maddie gets at least one runner a game if they are dumb enough to run on her more than a few times....my little one threw out two girls in a row on Sunday. The second one was off of a high pitch that bounced off the backstop and she still got her. Jury is still out about whether she is a pitcher or a catcher (insert joke about her dad here). She should differentiate by the end of summer but I am hoping for a catcher since I already have one of those pitchers.
