Most kids at this age would be lucky to make 2 throws without an overthrow/ball being dropped. Catcher should run the runner back to 3rd then get the ball to the pitcher. Then he heads back to home plate himself. Or the pitcher can come to home and take the ball, run the runner back to 3rd then get to the circle. There are ways to combat it even if you have a poor team on defense.
