[QUOTE="ModMike1572, post: 9623822, member: 133889"] 1. A little of both. Thats a pretty young age to teach them proper mechanics, but it doesnt mean you cant try. Getting their timing down and putting the sweat-spot on the ball is probabely the most important. If you have time, do lots of hitting drills. Soft-Toss against the fence, wiffle ball, hitting off a tee, etc... All these things will get their timing down and improve hand-eye coordination. 2. Derek Jeter. But teach them how to switch hit. Trust me. 3. I dont even know where to begin: Thats the perfect age to start teaching them how to NOT be afraid of the ball. I'm serious. Any little kid is going to get plunked sooner or later in the batters box and it could effect their swing and overall mechanics. This is the time to teach them how to turn away from the ball with their butt and back. Get yourself some wiffle balls or any type of soft ball and pitch to them in the yard or something. If you can get them to be confident and not afraid in the batters box, they will smash the ball, and you wont have to worry about those weak little swings. If you were closer I'd be happy to go to the batting cage and work with you guys. Theres just so much to learn when it comes to hitting and its hard over the internet. If you have any other questions or need advice in a particular area, ask away. [/QUOTE]
