5 times a week. Quality matters, not quantity. Sometimes the warmup will take longer then the actual pitching session. The important thing is that she "does her homework", IE she has time outside of a game situation to work on the mechanical issues that her pitching coach wanted her to work on that week. If she doesn't do that, you're wasting your money with lessons.
30 minute sessions are usually a good goal at that age, but make sure she's doing quality pitches, working on what she needs to work on, and not just phoning it in. I don't like them to work on all their pitches every single session. Sometimes it's better to focus on one pitch. Closer to game day, she'll want to cycle through all of them which is fine, but make sure she warms each one up properly. This will take longer then 30 minutes.
