I am not against instruction at any age, you just have to figure out if a kid is ready for it or not. If a kid is doing something incorrectly that they are unable to feel that is a pretty good tell that they don't have the body awareness yet to be able to take verbal instruction and do something positive with it..
We have all playing levels in our town. You have all kinds of physical intelligence. Kids at lower levels will never play at our HS, or even mid levels. Some people just don’t have body awareness. If you told them something and even showed them, they cannot create anything that resembles said instruction.
Even you Pattar have a intelligence in your field that I don’t have. I would be at the lower level . I’m sure you can teach me that 2+2=4 . I’m not saying I couldn’t learn, I’m just I will never be a Professor in your field.
One time this 18 year old kid was in the church gym, a missionary. We were shooting hoops and he had no idea how to use he body to shoot the basketball. I remember asking myself how someone could have so little physical intelligence.
In a long way of saying. You never know who and at what point they can understand the swing.
