I would suggest you find another team for your daughter to play with if the coach is teach the team this swing. The only hitter I would suggest take the approach you described is a Slapper. The slapper's goal is to get the ball on the ground to the short stop or 3rd baseman and use her speed to beat it out. Why would you teach your 3,4 and 5 hitters to chop down on the ball, thats what the pitcher wants is ground balls. Check out this site and see if any of these ball players are chopping down on the ball. www.youthbaseballcoaching.com
