At 7 took my lefty DD to a place that had two lefty ex-college baseball players giving lessons. Only took her to a couple lessons to fix a few things.
At 8 just before All-Stars took her back to 3-4 lessons to break bad habits from rec league pitching.
Did similar things at 9,10,11 with 3 or so lessons to get tuned up for rec and 3 or so lessons for All-Stars.
Fall 2017 through August 2018 she played for a pretty good 12u B-Select team, so I took her for about 8 lessons with a college softball recent grad to learn how to slap to be a triple threat. She got into a slump end of May 2018, so we started going to hitting lessons every other week with the baseball players. She got it fixed for a Father's Day tourney and hit for the cycle one game.
She actually didn't slap in a game until her sophomore year of High School, but got pretty good at power slapping just over infielder's heads to get hits when that is what the defense gave her.
Through her high school career did similar things. Took her to lessons roughly every other week Feb through end of July to keep in good form for HS and summer ball.
