How about - How many of you are going to read and know your league rules? It is amazing how many rec coaches never even look at their own league rules. In our local parks, the younger the age groups the more rules with over 40 in some TBall and PeeWee. How about this one, "No infielder is allowed to go to the outfield and retrieve the ball before an outfielder has made a play on the ball." In some leagues it states this without the next sentence. "The batter will be awarded 3B" In other words, no penalty. This rule alone can take 5 or 10 minutes to discuss at a coaches' meeting.

Good luck!
