You object to teaching the kids how to figure this stuff out on their own?
Kids won't figure out any of this on their own, especially girls. Most college players are oblivious to the inside part of the game. Too busy cheering and singing. Good coaches are hard to find and should one show up, you guys want to leave it up to the girls to figure stuff out on their own.

In a game years ago, I saw a 12u player steal signs and let the other girls know in the 1st inning. It was all on her, with no encouragement from anyone else. We as coaches, infuse ourselves into the game the girls play enough ,as it is. A coaches' proudest moments should be when kids do something instinctive on their own. That doesn't mean some of the kids don't have great difficulty thinking on their feet, but it doesn't mean we quit trying.If at some point, I could just roll a ball out on the field, and have the girls figure it all out for themselves, I'd be satisfied I did my job.Kids won't figure out any of this on their own, especially girls.
