At young ages especially teaching them to throw, catch and hit is everything. A coach that tells kids to walk to win a 10U rec came needs to look at himself. I used to see it in my son's little league. There was a coach who would delay steal, take extra bases against the spirit of the divisions ,etc. His teams would always do well in the regular season especially early. By the time the playoffs came around the other teams who worked on hitting and fielding would catch up. He never won a title.
We actually had a softball team when DD played rec who would teach her kids to swing at balls in the dirt with 2 strikes to get to first on a D3K.
