I watched a 9 and 10 year old game tonight. One of the teams playing had a good fielder at first base along with other good players (first place team in the league!). Every time the other team would get a runner on first they would make the first baseman and the second baseman change places. Every time the runners advanced to second they moved the fielder on over to third. It's my opinion, and I realize everybody has one, that this age group should be more about development than winning and losing. I am not a parent of anyone invoved so this is just an observation. I am a coach and I do believe in teaching kids about winning and losing, but we win as a team and lose as a team. I feel strongly about developing all players to make a better team.

Sounds to me like that team is centered around one certain kid. And what does that teach the players exactly??
