The only place I could help was with the strike zone. I opened it up as much as I could morally live with (if the bats can't reach it, I can't call it a strike). These teams will face pitchers from other teams that can get the ball over the plate. I don't wan't them thinking that they have to swing all the time at balls that are over their head.

I totally agree with your assessement of not calling really out of
the strike zone, strikes. This is more harm than good. Now whenever
a pitcher throws a high one she thinks it is a strike, or a low 6 inches
outside one.
There are other ways to get the outs. You harm both pitcher and bratter
when you start really expanded strike zone.

My Bratter game tonight {10U] was 31-18... huh
They will get better as the days come and go, they always do.
