I’ve coached a ton of 10U and 12U teams at the rec and Allstar level, and that could very well have been one of my practices. At that age you spend 40 minutes or so doing drills to strengthen fundamentals. The last 15 minutes you challenge them to put it into a live situation. They’re not going to get it right away, so you call out some verbal cues that you used during drills. You can’t stop every time someone does something wrong. Keep it moving and give them another chance.
You did the right thing.

I have no proof other than my eyes and ears that these kids have had little to no instruction on grounders.. Isn't it the coach's responsibility to see that something this basic is corrected rather then reinforced?
