Anita,
Re USSSA (and Pony or Fed) you are correct. However, your team is alloted one minute from the time the third out is recorded to be ready for your pitcher to deliver to the batter. Have you been taking more than that time? If so the umpire could inform you that you are now taking a conference if you continue to delay play.
Having been a coach in the past, IMO by 10 & u players shouldn't need the coach on the playing field between innings. I've coached from 5&6 yoa to 16 yoa. By 10 yoa my girls only needed to see the line-up card on the fence to know where to go and what to do.
