I have been looking all over the interent and this forum to find a daily or weekly workout for a U10 pitcher to get stronger which will increase pitching speed. Does anyone have any place to find a workout that will add more MPH on to her speed and get her stronger for both pitching and hitting? Medicine Ball? Kinetic Bands? Long Toss???

I am sure you can find a recommended workout somewhere in cyberspace. If not, let me know and I will see if I can get one from my DD's pitching coach. Also, make sure she is eating right. At 10U she probably still has a lot of growing to do. My DD added 5 MPH per year from 10U-14U and most of it was just from practicing good mechanics and growth.
I like the J Bands from Jaeger Sports. Work on her overhand throw and everything else, improves, too.
Long toss, the judicious use of a weighted ball, and of course great mechanics.

For her age... all the workout routines posted in that thread (at this point) would be of great benefit. As far as bands... they will be more of a conditioning element, not a speed builder.. but don't skip out on that... it's absolutely necessary. Build a strong foundation first.
For older athletes... I do intend on adding a routine to that thread as well... just been too busy! A much more ballistic approach is necessary, with less emphasis on endurance or high rep routines...

WarriorMike,
We share the same name... minus the warrior. As far as the cell phone... Man, I'm still living in the 20th Century. Cell phones are too technical for me!
I can give you a rotary number... lol
