In this video, I give some verbal cues I use when teaching younger players how to hit. Every child is different and different cues work for different kids. My best advice is keep your teaching very simple and easy to understand.

Thanks for this video. I'm working with 8U kids that are all over the place with every part of their swing, from just standing correctly at the plate to dropping the bat after contact. I usually start with their feet placement, but after than that, is there a good order/hierarchy to getting all parts of their swing together? They don't take too many instructions before they' start staring into space, lol...

Awesome video! Can you give advice as it relates to hitting stance, specifically with feet placement for a 6 year old? I've had my daughter change to a more staggered stance. What are the pros/cons of a staggered stance to a traditional stance?
@MegRemSoftball2 жыл бұрын
staggered stance may cause her to be too open or too closed, which can in turn be tough to hit the outside pitch or turn on an inside pitch.

Do you teach this to girls that are 6? My daughter's team is struggling. Most can't make contact with the ball yet. Coach isn't great but is the only one who signed up. I tried helping today. Most girls did better but definitely didn't use this form which looks far superior. My problem is I'm not sure most of them would understand it. Pretty sure one of them was trying your form. Tons of power, zero control. I am struggling to get them to just swing straight across so many are chopping the bat downward and doing weird things with their elbows and hands.
@MegRemSoftball8 ай бұрын
6 is really young but you can try and simplify it even more. Take out a bunch “steps.” Focus on the load - hands back and front foot down. Tell them if you go around and push them, they aren’t strong enough in their legs. Going to contact - knob to the ball and then barrel. Back toes should be towards the pitcher (which means they are using bottom half). Extension- point the barrel back to the pitcher. Follow through.

Throw front toss but don't let them swing. Have them instead say "yes" or "no" right when they should swing. Yes to the strikes, no to the balls. This will help track the ball all the way in and focus a bit more.
