I think the main reason there are so many more block calls at the 4-8 level is that they often don't have a clue as to how to obtain a legal position on the floor. Also, they are usually afraid to get hurt and will move instead of taking the charge.
I coach 7-8 and it takes forever for them to finally understand the concept. What I've found is that by the end of the year, most of my 7-8 kids understand the concept and are drawing many more charging fouls.
