As explained to me, the feeling is that if there is a right handed batter at the plate, the safest on-deck circle to be in would be the one behind him.

I still contend that if the age group of the players is such that they can't pay enough attention to be in their proper on-deck circle and do so safely, or if their particular field does not accomodate on-deck circles that are far enough away from the plate to be safe, then they don't need on-deck circles at all.
