Nice aggressive swing for 8 by the way. These habits are formed at young ages. I hear so many coaches of young kids tell them to "swing level". Arrrgh! In a kids mind what is level a table, the ground? In order to swing level on a waist high ball they have to drop their hands to the waist in an attempt to swing on a level plain with the ground. Lack of strength at the young ages can cause this as well. The only pitch they can truly swing close to level is one at the shoulders.
It is hard to work on lower pitches with the little ones as the tees are just too tall. I like to use short orange construction or road cones for tees. They come in various sizes and can get the ball to knee level.
