How long has your daughter been playing? Is she a beginner?

Now, without having viewed the coaching sessions, I am obviously not in prime position to comment! Normally, when a shot (i.e. a lift) is first introduced, SOME tactical stuff is covered. However, I would imagine that for a lift from the net, the only requirement (to begin with) would be to get the shot near the back tramlines, rather than worrying about WHERE along the back tramlines to aim – the tactical objective here is to move your opponent backwards, and create space at the front. It is sometimes the case that, after a few weeks/months, all of a sudden, the back box (in both tramlines) becomes a target – but this is only after initial practice has been done to achieve “at the back” – now you are getting it to the back and aiming straight for example. However, lifting to the back into a target area is something most players who have been playing recreationally for a few years would struggle with if asked to do it consistently! Not as easy as you might think. However, you could be exactly right that the coach hasn't gone over that stuff with her, or with the group. I don't know, because Im not there!

Also, is it private coaching? My initial reaction is that it is incredibly difficult to do anything in half an hour, especially if its a group session! You may have the additional advantage of seeing your daughter play more often, and hence spotting the msitakes! There is no shame in asking the coach what he thinks – asking if they think it is ok? Or whether it is not quite right e.g. the contact on those clears.

On the other hand however, perhaps your daughter uses a slight panhandle in her grip? And hence takes the shuttle lower on clears. This is not so easy to correct, as the entire confidence of the player is at stake – much better to change gradually over time than reduce them back to not being able to hit anything!

If you think you have spotted a mistake, then don't hesitate to approach that coach and ask!
