There's a tremendous difference between rec ball and competitive sports. And a tremendous difference between average and elite.
if your daughter wants to play at the highest level the sooner you make the jump the better. Because all the competition to be on better teams is already better then she is. To break in later you've got to be an above-average athletic girl. Many so-so teams get started for this reason, the girls aren't good enough to get on another team. The exception will be someone whose athleticism can beat out the learned mechanics other girls have. Eventually they want hitters...Everybody wants a hitter.... Especially big girls that are strong and athletic.
