She looks good for 9. Careful how much you work on at one time. Set a goal for a session and try to focus on adding that to the foundation. At 9 years old, they often lack body control....almost like a wet noodle. As you work the full motion, and she starts to develop physically, that will come together. The main focus I would have at this stage is to assure the movements incorporated in the I/R Drills remain proper in the full motion. That's your initial "foundation" so to speak. You're doing it right...in my opinion. Work the I/R drills until she's confident, fluid, and comfortable.....then add the lower half. A good drill to bridge the gap between the base I/R drills and full motion is the reciprocal adduction drill. Java introduced me to that drill with my now 15 year old, and it's been very productive working with my younger one (9 as well).

If you ever get a chance, I'd love to see that drill.
