My DD got her butt chewed by her PC for not putting in enough practice time. PC says it's all about how you practice.
Quality... AND quantity if they're going to see any real gains.
Nothing worse than a 2nd year 12u who's been clocked in practice at 52-53mph, and then lobs 41-42mph on game day! That's a clear example of a kid who went out and played the way she's been practicing at home! PC's can't be there ALL the time. Bucket parents have to step up their game and hold dd's accountable for crappy mechanics at home.
