I have a pretty young DD (9) who has been working hard the last 6 weeks, however when I ask her to go run the basic IR drills (lock-it-in and 9 o'clock), she gets extremely bored and doesn't want to do them. She does really well (not perfect) on these drills when she is doing them, however I don't feel like she has truly unlocked the "WHIP". Sometimes I feel like attributing the whip issue with the size of her hands. From what I can see, it appears that her wrist is getting locked and that is not allowing her to fully whip the ball with the looseness that she requires.
Is there a way to make these drills fun for her? How many throws per session do you usually have your students/DDs perform before moving onto something a little more exciting for them?
