I then have them bring the elbow into the side and face the pitcher...I was worried because this was talked about as a advanced move and maybe i should have not introduced it. I have only did this for 1 session so I can stop if it is wrong or to early. Please advise.

I would work more on using their bottom hand and working the bottom hand drill.try to get them to turn staying connected.
