LL has that age group at 46'

PONY has 7-8 at 38'  and 9-10 at 44'

Neither has a "no walks" rule.

6 year olds pitching - where in Texas did you use to live !!!   ;o)

Many (maybe most) leagues don't start kids pitching at 6 - 7 or even 8.

Around here most leagues are Tee-Ball for 5-6, and Coach or Machine Pitch for 7-8.  Kid pitch generally starts at 9.

Is the league affiliated with a national organization (Little League, PONY, Cal Ripken, etc) or is it just a local town/city/county league?

They stack the higher division with 14 kids per team and give the lowers 10 per team.

Wow, seems "backwards" - most manager is the older (more competitive) divisions generally want fewer players !!!

If this truly is Little League Baseball, Inc., then the kids can't pitch at anything other than 46' at these ages. It's a safety thing. Be sure to tell your board this.

Many lower divisions of minors prohibit stealing, as the catchers and infielders just don't have the skills at 7-8 to deal with it. That's nothing new, and it makes the games go faster.

Why move a younger kid up to basicly sit him on the bench when he could be one of the studs in a lower division.

It's not about being a big fish in a little pond. It's about player development. Sometimes having the right younger player practicing with the older kids if FAR more beneficial than having him dominate the younger ones. Notice I didn't say "playing", as it's the practices where these younger kids develop their skills. Game time is just a lesser component of the over all experience.

"The area I just moved to they have the kids throwing from the top of the mound witch almost always ends up..."

WHICH "WITCH" are you referring to?

Sarge

... but would you as a kid rather be a dominating player or one of the 6 outs and sit kids?

I asked my son that, when he (not me) had the choice of moving up, or not. He wanted to play with the big guys, yet knew the reality of bench time. He came out a much better player in the end, not because of game time, but because of practicing with the big guys. Dominating little guys is cool for the parents, but doesn't get you better.

How does not stealing speed up the game?

You're not constantly trying (and failing) to throw runners out.

What the problem is is that there are to many different ages in these divisions keeping the closer pitching from being use.

That may be true, but it's not allowed in Little League. Your league is in violation of a basic safety rule if they do. Feel free to bring that up at the next meeting, if safety is important to you.
