I apologize for taking so long to get back! We have NOT implemented it. I think we just had a bad day. It was a day were 2 of our 4 coaches didn't show and chaos ensued. I know a lot of people say that 6u just doesn't understand but the girls I see out there do understand. I am so beyond proud...

I am learning this will be interesting. I think I'll be lucky to get the girls to not chase butterflies in the outfield. I think I will
