Up until about 12 our lead off and 2 hole guys would always just round first and head for 2nd on any base hit with runners on base and no one on 2nd in front of them.

 

We taught them to just go and only retreat if the ball clearly beat them to the bag.  We created chaos for defenses.  We actually got teams to try to do it against us.  Because we practiced it we could defend it.  We threw more guys out at the plate and 3rd than I could have imagined.  The lead runners really need to know what they are doing. Good team speed helps with this kind of stuff.  Station to station guys can't make it work.
