"Fall ball" in LL is purely instructional. You didn't mention what level of ball in LL (Majors? Intermediate (50/70)? Juniors?). Fall ball is an excellent time for those players transitioning from the 60-foot diamond to the 70/90 foot diamond - learning about balks, especially. Coaches can ask for time to explain things to the players, and you can chime in, too. There is nothing wrong with LL, only the adults causing the drama. Kids just want to play.
