Congratualtions to you for working with DD so much. With all the time this sport takes, is awesome that you still put in extra time!!
As a 2005 DD should be playing, and playing 10u, especially, if DD is not happy with her role on the team. You should audition 2005 teams for a better fit. Maybe you find one, or, come to grips that DD likes her current team and will continue to hone her skills to grow her role on the team.
My DD is a late 2005, also on a mostly 2004 team that played 12u fall ball this year and will be 12u next year. I would much prefer she was on a 2005 team but we did not have any close to us to audition. DD really likes her team though. She pitched in 6 of our 8 fall games. She loves her pitching role but when she doesn't pitch she sits, or platoons mostly in the OF. She hates to sit, so I feel your pain! The coaches are trying to divy up the innings of play to try and keep all 11 kids involved and, since she pitches so much, she has to sit more than she likes though she does bat the order.
Sometimes it is just luck of the draw. Numbers game. If the numbers are not in your favor, find where they are, or focus on being happy that you are continuing to work on her development and spending time with DD.
