A local coach who has a few pitchers at Bama and more in other SEC schools has an easy answer for this when you become her student no matter what the age that she tells both students and parents. You prepare for lessons or you don't get to be a student. Lesson time with an instructor is not a right, but a privilege. And you have to work your way up from getting a lesson when there are openings and cancelations to earning a standing time. Some kids want it, some don't.Agree older age kids can have the maturity to be engaged for themselves and bring that conversation to their parents.
Have the responsibility to put working on technical lesson feedback on there own schedule.
13 & under...not so much.
Still there can be very responsible young kids but not all.
And I am talking about a private instruction schedule where the parents are included with me standing there saying let's remember to work on our XYZ on own time sb homework.
