They really need coaching.
When you have a bunch of un-trained kids then the league should be Instructional in nature. Forget about keeping score. etc. You do not need umpires.
These kids need to learn the game and improove on their skills. Having games with umpires is meaningless. F2 needs to be trained as well as the other players.
Therefore, IMO tell your brother that this League should change their goals and simply make this an Intsructional League. Also, simply do not umpire these games any-more. Have the coaches do it.
