The local LL had coach pitch for 10u for the first 2/3 of the season, then a girl would pitch, with the coach taking over after 4 balls.
For DD #3's first year in 10U, she decided to pitch a few times in the spring. She played up in 12U in the fall, and they let her pitch a few innings. That winter she got a pitching coach. She played up in 12U in the spring, and in a 10U all-star team in the summer. By this spring, 12U for real, she was pitching a lot more, and also TB.
Her PC wants her to pitch in rec league for practice. I think it helps her a lot. This spring she was able to get a lot of practice, greatly improve her strike: ball ratio, and work on her changeup. She is pitching rec league this fall. Her first game was rained out, but her next game is Friday.
