He took the play at home positioned 1BX as described. After the inning I tried to explain where he should have been....He did not believe me. He said that he was just taught the previous weekend to do it the way he did. So I posted the question to the group here.

Buy him a CCA manual for his birthday. And a FED manual. Clinics are great as far as they go, but they should be demonstrating the mechanics found in these manuals.
