I would not drive far at 10U. We drive 30 min one way 3x per week and that is as far as I'm willing to go at this point. We do drive 45 min each way for hitting/catching once a week but we are usually able to carpool with another family for this. There are 2 families on our team who have to drive probably 90+ min each way depending on traffic. They have actually stopped coming to practices regularly because of time spent in the car. It is frustrating because our team rarely ever has everyone there at the same time for practice. I understand what a pain traffic and time in the car is...but they knew what they were committing too when they signed up. In fact our coach moved practice closer to them and pushed it back 30 minutes to help them and still they rarely attend.
As an earlier poster said, as my daughter gets older I will be willing to drive further (Or let her drive further)..but for now 30 min is my limit.
