How about this scenario:
My best hitter is up. He hits to the outfield most every time. I have a runner on first. Before the umpire puts the ball in the machine, I have my runner run to second and then on to third. As long as my batter gets the ball out of the infield the runner at third stays or at worst goes back to second. If the batter misses, the runner has to go back to first. If the batter gets an infield single, then I just hold my runner at third.
I'm on a small field, there are no triples. This takes the double play away. This makes no sense to me. I cannot see why anyone would apply this rule to machine pitch that allows stealing.

What the Hell difference does it make? It is obvious at this level that you don't understand why you are out there either. I guarantee you ,that YOU are more worried about this than any of the kids on your team are.
You should be happy if they learn to field , hit, and run the bases at this level. Teach them the fundamentals of the game and how to enjoy it. Leave the technical bullcrap for later levels of baseball. I can't see why I have to pay exhuberent prices for gas, but I do.
