My granddaughter only began playing last Spring on a rec. team then played Gold travel in Summer and Fall. She has now been invited to practice with the black team for the upcoming season with a chance to make the team full time. Coach recognizes her physical talents but, clearly she has work to do in learning the game, hitting mechanics, etc. You can imagine. My question is, should we get her private hitting coaching, running the risk of learning only their philosophy, good or bad? Also, how to motivate her when she still has some self confidence issues mainly due to her being new to the sport and playing with girls who've been playing since they were 5 years old. She was 12U last year and is now 14U. We were content with her playing Gold again this year but, don't want to turn down the opportunity to learn from the Black team's coaching.
