My biggest concern is that unless she gets her speed and confidence back she is never going to stand out on this team. She's made the decision to stay with this current team, which I'm totally fine with as it's a well coached drama free team, and if she can get back to pre-injury form can play at this level as a 15 y/o.
To play in college, your DD needs to be good. To become "good", your DD has play for a team where she (1) gets lots of playing time and (2) plays quality competition.
As far as recruitment goes, the team only matters if the team is one of the top teams in the US...e.g., the OC Batbusters or the Beverly Bandits, etc. Your DD isn't on one of those teams, so don't worry about it. (Mine didn't play for one either.)
You have some misconceptions about recruiting.
For your DD to get recruited, she:
1) Decides on the kind of school she wants to attend.
2) Sends out emails and video links to coaches.
3) Invites the coaches to come see her play at tournaments.
4) Attends softball camps for schools that show interest in her.
Go out and buy Cathy Aradi's book, "Preparing to Play Softball at the Collegiate Level". It is $35 in paperback, or you can get an electronic copy for $10. I know Cathy. She knows what she is doing. (I' don't get a dime from Cathy. She is a great resource.)
