I sent you the bucket drill that might help. One thing that might help is practice going to toe touch bare foot, FFS talks about this in his posts. You can see what is going on better. Make sure she is landing and keeping the weight on the large toes or inside the pyramid. This is a drill I like them doing inside during the winter in front of a mirror. When the land they think they can wave the little toe and say this is for you to the pitcher.
The bucket drill is a huge help. We've only used it a few nights but I can see the difference. I wish I could use it in games:)

Not here.
I don't want to answer for iMlearning nor SBFamily.Hopefully they will answer and clearify.From what I have read and what iMlearning was asking for help with was his DD getting her weight/body going to much forward.You want your DD's front foot to land on the big toe and the toe next to it.You want the other piggies in the air waving to the pitcher.Get a plastic bucket(old empty spackle bucket) You need to weigh it down.Best to use cement,just fill it half way.Need to give it some weight so it will not move.Now during front toss or drills like the matrix in frt of mirror.Now when your DD takes a stride her frt foot will land up against the bucket and slid down into the position it needs to be in.Her big toe will be in contact with the ground and the other little toes will be in the air.This helps to stop lunging or getting to much weight over the frt foot.

Thanks rdbass. Saved me some typing:). What I noticed with the bucket there that I didn't see before is that she actually pulled her front foot back a little at times. No wonder she gets over the front so much.
