My 10 y/o daughter just started pitching this year for our fall league season. We have pitching practices 2 nights a week, team practice two nights a week and 2 games every Sunday, so we don't have a lot of extra time to work on things away from softball right now. Unfortunately also, our youth association doesn't really offer a lot of coaching to the girls who are just starting out in pitching, and our 'pitching practices' are really just father/daughter throwing/pitching sessions. I've been working with my daughter on some of the drills I have found online to help her with her wrist snap and her mechanics. But the one thing I am noticing is that once she has made her stride to the plate and her arm comes around, her hips are not driving around enough and as a result a lot of her pitches are pushing to the right (way inside to a right handed batter). Does anyone have any suggested drills that i might be able to incorporate into our training sessions that might help re-inforce the full hip rotation?
Any help is appreciated.
