I'm sorry for the nasty responses you get on here. I have a 4th grade daughter also, and -- particularly with little girls -- there is a big disparity right now in abilities. some girls can throw and catch and some girls can't. It's that simple. And for those that can, it's frustrating and will be until the other girls catch up -- which requires effort outside the PAL season which some girls are not willing to put in.

There are some clubs that will let your daughter "play up" if you ask. It's really as simple as asking. Otherwise, you may want to look at certain private academies that offer weekly group training just to keep her challenged and improving her game. I think some clubs offer winter training sessions after the new year where a spot on one of their teams is not necessary.
