if they want to protect their knees, then dont allow them to set up sitting on the insides of their feet with their knees collapsed in.

CatchaProspect,

Well said, this is so common in the young players I see, ages 8-12. I cringe when I see them rolled over onto the insides of their feet with their knees pinched in (I like your term collapsed as well).

Besides being just tough to move around in that position, the stress it puts on the knees is significantly more then if the youngster is in a correct position with the entire bottom of his foot in contact with the ground. Then the knees bend the way they're built to bend.
