When DD was in 10U, at the Rec All-Star WS, they had to learn D3S and IF even though that was the first tournament they'd seen it.DD's rec league introduces infield fly rule at 10U.

D3S is definitely harder to deal with when you're first exposed to it
In DD's league the girls get used to it pretty quickly. And if they forget, coach will scream "RUN!!!!" and even if they don't know why they're doing it, they run.
It's hard on the catcher too. On DD's rec team, they have a catcher who really just starting catching last season and doesn't always catch the ball. She's gotten a lot better with practice but sometimes they just forget "when" D3S applies. I would always try to remind her when it applied and non SB DD said I should just get myself a shirt that said "Squeeze it Sarah" Season just started back up and she's one of our catchers again and I get to say it again!
Interestingly (and it hasn't been long, DD has only been in 10U since the fall), I've never seen a catcher forget. The defense is always ready. Hitters, on the other hand....
