Mandatory Play Time
I'm a huge proponent of mandatory playing time at that age level . . . and for all sports. In baseball, there's no reason you can't have "rotational" batting and fielding. If you've got 10 players, all bat in rotation. On defense, the 1st nine play the 1st inning, players 2 through 10 play in the field during the 2nd inning, etc. If you've got 14 players, the same rotation can be used without any problem. Players 1-9 in the 1st inning, 2-10 in the 2nd, 3-11 in the 3rd, etc.
But as someone pointed out, LL isn't really for the kids.
