U_of_I_Blue,
In addition to your miniclinic, you may want to consider have them show up for their game 20-30 min early. I used this time to go over 1, maybe 2 sitch's, using both the book and posts from this forum. Then 10 min. before game time I'd turn 'em loose on the Managers and head off to do my thing. Of note, I'd concentrate on the 90 percentile events that happen in a game and try hard to capture the intent of the rule... so when B2 ran F6 over, who was in the process of fielding the ball, at least B2 was out. If runners got sent back that was even better. If they didn't remember what to do with the batter, well, in U10 ball we'll live with that one. Good luck.

ps. My best Blue was a tennis player!
