Ok, its safe to ask now lol
DD is a natural right hander who in her 09 season hit the ball fairly well. Doubles and even triples on reg. basis in her second season of 14U. First season of 16U she chose to go to a new organization. One in which decides to make her a lefty, slapper. Two tourney into season dd is really struggling with confidence issues (totally agreed) and coach decides to put her back on right side.
First question, Was nine months a long enough period to see dd's potential on left side?
Second question, Would you ever switch a kid at the age of 15? With only a few years left to really develope before College?
Third question, DD hasnt giving up on the left side but is having a hard time with the struggle after what it took to become a hitter on the right. She is discouraged! Is it ok to let her switch hit? Say for fall ball or even High School until her confidence is where it needs to be on the left. She is no longer with the team that wanted her on the left and new coach is open to her switch hitting....Just want to do whats best for her
