Agree with the above big time. DD's middle school coach wanted the glove on the ground facing the batter. He wanted them to work ground up, which I get, but it's a terrible position to move laterally from. Plus, most girls got back on their heels making it even worse.
Corners (in softball in particular) can start a bit lower (still wouldn't start with glove almost on ground like I often see) IMO.
