Couple of additional things:
Find a couple fun competition things to end practice on when you have some extra time. Gold glove is a classic that carries over to all age groups, but baserunning relays or really anything that can build skills and create some fun competition can be a great way to end practice.
Just as I hated full team batting practice I'd only use full team infield/outfield to build an understanding of where to be, when to be there, and where the ball goes. You can't avoid working on these things so you're going to have kids standing around as you do this, just keep in mind it's not the best way to work on fielding or throwing fundamentals. Leave those to small station drills and use the full innie/outie for what it does best.
You're going to feel overwhelmed and like things are moving faster than you can track. Trust your assistants and yourself. Things slow down as you get your own repetitions and it's never as bad as it feels.
