Here is a question for the forum.
I am a coach with an 8U town travel program. Our town uses a local high school coach to run clinics and classes with our girls. The commissioner of our program wants all of the girls, from the rec. program 5/6 group all the way to our 18U travel program to use the local coaches program. She is a very successful player with a D3 national championship under her belt, she was a pitcher and a very good hitter. The problem that I have is that many of our 8U girls have a swing and stance that does not match what she teaches. How do I convince parents that are working with their girls at home that the swing they are teaching is not what we want to see? I am happy that they are working at home as we only get two practices or games a week, and I don't want to insult them.
Thanks
