> My son has a tendency to let his back foot slide backwards(not towards the catcher but away from the plate) when swinging. What can I do to get this corrected.

Jody,

Have him position his feet in his stance, place a firm object
(2x4, small rock, etc.)on the side of his foot that moves. This will block his foot from moving as he makes contact with the object. Initially this will be uncomfortable, but it will be an ever constant reminder. Once the memory kicks in, remove the object.
