I have coached girls softball for Little League for 4 years starting in B-ball. With at least a 12 girl team, young girls can become bored with drill after drill and yet they want to experience every position.

I have a scrimmage that is made of 3 teams of 4. One team consists of the outfield, the second, the infield and the third bats. After the 3 outs, the outfield moves to the infield, the infield bats and the batters go to the outfield. Etc., etc.

It has worked our terrifically in building excitement for game situations, letting them experience both outfield and infield and be competitive. We can have ourselves a game without hunting for another team to play against.
