===So, not surprisingly, I taught my kids to swing level to the plane of the ball, to keep the hands inside the ball, and to drop the back knee (i.e. like an "L") to meet the height of the ball on low pitches.===

What are some other basic tips to give to young players to allow them to swing level to the plane of the ball?
