Well be more gentle with her. Don't get down on her all of the time, remember to praise her too. You just have to learn how far her emotions stretch.

If they cry, then u need to learn why! If they keep doing it, sit them on the bench!! My dad will take me out during practice sometimes and make me watch how the other girls handle it!

Take her to the side and talk. Let her know that she needs to become part of the team. Looks like she wants attention and she needs to know she will get the attention she desires by playing at her best instead of whining about things. Girls at this age are all hormones and attitude. I coached ages 11 up to 16 and believe me girls are up and down. Let her also know that she needs to get over all the crying and that she will sit the bench some when she gets that way, as there are other players you have that want to play and don't have the wineys.

You have to get to know your players. Try to understand where she is coming from then talk to her about it. Dont be hard on her because she knows she did wrong already, she doesnt need you to keep telling her that. Even when she does the littlest thing right, praise her and get excited for her. Thats if she is really crying.
but if its a girl who just complains all the time, tell her if she doesnt shape up, you will sit her. And sit her until she proves she can change -
Sara gave some good specific advice, let me elaborate. "Cry baby" is not very helpful and it doesn't describe the real issue. Does she actually cry tears as in "there's no crying in baseball" or is she complaining and negative all the time, or is she always pointing out anytime there is something she doesn't agree with, or something else? Each of these situations requires different handling. At that age girls especially are very sensitive and emotional and they all hit there most sensitive age at different times. So when it looks like none of the other girls are like that, it may be that you didn't have the pleasure of their company when they went thru that stage.
I have been coaching girls that age for many years and have never encountered such a child, but have had many other trouble types, like insolent, apathetic, and know it all. Sometimes when such undesirable traits surface it can be a coaches coaching technique clashes with a particular child's personality. And most of the time it's because they feel they need more attention or that a coach doesn't understand their needs. Usually a sit down is warranted to determine the actual issue. And sometimes an intervention with the help of a parent attending practice that can dissuade the child's behavior. And sometimes with these types a coaching technique change may be necessary. I find that at this age the number of different personalities on a team is equal to the number of girls on the team and therefore may occasionally require some adjustment by a coach. -
