Last 3 tournaments the team has had only 3 girls getting hits. Each day it's a different group of girls usually. But as coaches we don't know what is going on. The girls get up and just watch the strikes go right down the middle without swinging. If they do swing it's at stuff in the dirt or at their eyeballs. The pitchers aren't any faster or slower than we are use to, in fact a few teams we have played multiple times and hit 15+ against.
We do an 1 hour of hitting as part of every team practice, plus have a 2 hour team batting practice at one of the local indoor cages every week. Half the team also takes hitting lessons from private instructors.
The girls can all hit and have been hitting as a team in the past. This refusal, reluctance or whatever it is to swing is something new in the last couple of weeks. We've been joking about needing to bring chicken bones for some of the girls, but man after this weekend it's starting to feel more serious than joking. What should we do?
