Guys, I'm curious of your opinions. I'm not able to make my daughters practices and since Tuesday they were doing batting practice, I had my wife take video of our DD performing the different Drill stations they had players doing. After watching the videos of DD practice sessions, I was upset because I hope they don't undo what she has been working really hard on. Here are the problems that I saw: 1 - They did side toss (No issues there) but the problem was that they fed the ball so fast, it didn't give the players including my DD enough time to get into a proper position which means that DD had to just react in way that made her do all sorts of bad mechanics. Especially DBSF and bat drag. I don't believe that they gave instructions (According to DD) about what was expected or purpose of the Drill. 2 - She hit off this pitching machine that shoots foam ball (No issue there) but the problem to me is that (Even as DD told me) there was nothing to time the ball. Therefore everything was thrown off mechanically. Again in the video DBSF, Bat Drag, No Sequence etc. She was also not given any instructions on expectations or anything in this drill as well. Now I don't believe the coaches even realize any of this and its not just my DD but many of the players. My question is should I bring this up to the coaches? or work with what they are doing and use them to teach certain things. For example the side toss: I could tell my DD to get in a full stride position with the lower half turned in which she would then coil and explode. Like a Stretch fire drill? I just don't want what she has worked hard on to be undone!
