With those few players, you will put them in the positions that they want to play in. Usually they will want to play in the positions that the ball will be hit to the most such as the infield positions. Some kids won t want to play in the positions where the ball is going to be hit. Kids will play better when they feel comfortable. When kids are in the age groups from 9 and up they don t need to rotate positions.
Players become comfortable in a position and then they stay in that position.
When players stay playing the same position they can master that one position instead of being good at a few different positions. They should learn to play all of the infield positions. This will help them improve the playing of their position. If they understand the other positions they can help others out on making a play.
