First, what you describe regarding the pitchers was legal per standard ASA rules except we don't play on no stinkin' mound!
Second, I don't give a rules clinic at pre-game, even at 10U. There will be introductions & greetings, a review of each team's lineup card, a little speech regarding sportsmanship, a reminder to the coaches and we are willing to discuss but not argue about calls, a question regarding players being properly and safely equipped, a brief reminder of any local or tournament rules, a question to the home coach regarding ground rules and a discussion of anything unique about the playing field, a coin flip for home team (if necessary), a good luck and a request for the home team to take the field.
If there were notable rule changes in the off-season, these will be briefly mentioned in the first few games of the season.
