I coach in the Majors and we have the rule where you can only steal when the ball crosses the plate. You can advance on wild pitches/pass balls. If theres a wild pitch with a runner on 3rd, the runner must slide at the plate. Whenever you get guys on the corners, you know the other team is going to steal 2nd and you cant do **** bout it.

It works well enough I guess. Once they turn 13 and go to the junior league or the babe ruth league or whatever, then they play real ball with leads and true steals.
