So our DD is 9 and is playing with older kids this season and it is very apparent that she has a lot of things to fix or tweak compared to the 11 and 12 year olds on the team. It wasn't so obvious when she was playing 8U last season. She was one of the strongest so nothing really stuck out too much.
For example: While she usually catches fly balls, it was never a two-handed catch. Her opposite hand always flew out to the side. So we have been doing 10 minutes in the morning and then 10 minutes in the afternoons in our foyer.(really tall ceiling) just to change her muscle memory. It seem to be working. We will see at practice today when they go into the "fly ball" group.
Just wondering how coaches change muscle memory on something like this. Thanks in advance!
