One thing I have found is the the girls don't know where to hit the ball. I show them that there is both a sweet spot on the bat and a sweet spot on the ball and when those 2 collide - success.
Also, nothing is worse, than if I cannot demonstrate that off of the tee.
I look at a lot of their dry swings. I have them spread out and just swing the bat. I ask them to do that correctly, every day. It helps to have them look at their stance and swing, in a mirror or reflective window.
A hitting stick is a cheap station to set up, but you will need and adult or older girl to hold it.
Always throw down a "home plate" (almost anything) at each station and if I am really organized, I put down a batters box using a piece of plastic construction tape laid on the ground.
I don't have a lot of nets, so I use plastic balls of many kinds - so no one gets hurt.
