[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our experience was that Machine did not provide stroke corrections and focused only on older kids. Younger kids are just cash cows. To supplement, we did private lessons with one of the summer swim college kids. That helped with strike mechanics. We are exploring other options for next year. For us it’s really about exercising and doing hard tasks - which they could do with stroke and turn and a private lesson. Or a municipal team that takes OOB kids. [/quote]

This hasn't been our experience at all with Machine, at either Maryland site.  My now 8-year old has gotten lots of stroke input, as has my now 11-year old.  At times over the year Dan Haines, who is the head site coach at UMD and coaches the National/National Prep groups, has been on the deck coaching the younger jkids.  I've seen him give very specific, immediate feedback multiple times over the course of this year.

I know experiences across sites vary, so wanted to share ours.[/quote]

This has been our experience too w/Machine.[/quote]
