Start with an appropriate strike zone and stay there. Period.
By opening it up further, even of your suggested 3 balls outside and 1 inside (for almost an additional foot), all you you have done is saved the pitchers from working harder and the coach from going to his bullpen.
At that level, make them play the game.

I agree with you there GArth.
Make them learn how to pitch.
If they can't then they must suffer the consequences.
I'm not bailing out a pitcher just because he can't pitch.
After a couple of innings he's out, and the coach can put in a "real pitcher" and put his "son" somewhere else. (g)
