While trying to "teach" players the fundamentals is a great goal, however in many of these leagues little Tommy along with about 7 others are out there because of Dad.... When I coached the only thing we hoped for when drafting is to get AT LEAST 3-4 kids who could catch, hit, and throw! Let's not forget that these are Kids and we should let them be kids... IMO more important than learning fundamentals 9 (while certainly important) is the concept of teamwork and good sportsmanship....
