This has always been a tricky topic. For my DD I like about 20-25 innings over a weekend. ( 4-5 games ) That seems to work good for her.
Now the best pitcher in our state was rode hard. From 10u to 16u pitching 6-7-8-9 games a weekend. I always told the coach that was too many. He always replied " don't worry, she has a rubberband arm". Well now she stays hurt......... elbow, shoulder, knees. I will always wonder if was the excessive pitching all those years. She is very very athletic, 5'11 and 140, with no body fat.
