Even though it may be a great pitching coach everyone always has to move on

It sounds like she could do it.

No she is playing 2 years older

i would move her up, but consider finding a team with a good pitching coach and her own age group.

Ya, there would be some ups, and downs, like, it would be a little pressure. If she wants to do it, let her do it! I wouldn't stay with the team you are on now, because, everybody wants to be on a team that has good players, with good attitude. That way, everybody could pick each other up. I think you should go for it.

Melissa... You and your daughter have some tough decisions ahead of you. Ultimately you want to consider a couple of things. Is moving up to U14 ball the best move, being that she's 11? That all depends on her abilities, and from what you have said, she's a better than average ball player. It also depends on what you feel she can handle physically and emotionally, not only as a player, but with the age group she will be moving up to. There is a big difference in perception and attitude between these ages, sometimes not always for the better. Not to mention the biological differences and changes that occur that can affect them physically, emotionally, as well as socially. I've experienced this first hand, it's not always pretty.
The strong point is that she has already practiced and is practicing with this Team. That's a good start as she will have a better time adjusting to this Team and them to her. She also knows, for the most part, the riggers and trials this Team is facing physically and technically at the U14 level, also a plus. On the flip side, being she made this decision, will she be able to sustain the level that will be comfortable and yet still be challenged as a player and a person?
Have you talked with the Coach of her current Team about this? Could the reason he is not working on your daughter's pitching be because she is proficient and Coach is focusing on the weaker points of his Team? I don't know. Due to her record as you describe it, it sounds as that may be the case. Maybe looking into a different, alternative training venue or tutoring, outside of her current Coach to assist with the concerns of keeping your daughter "up-to-speed" and getting the challenge you both feel she needs, could be an option. That and keeping her current Coach "in-the-loop" and working in tandem with each other. Sometimes communication goes a long way. Ultimately, it should be what is in the best interest of your daughter, her abilities and desires.
Again as I had said earlier, You both have a tough decision ahead of you. Hopefully this helps you to make a better informed decision for everyone involved. As I have Teenage daughter's of my own and have dealt with these issues from U9 to U13 as a Coach, I find that communication can be the best key to success, for all involved. Keep us informed as to how your daughter makes out. Good luck.

I think moving your daughter up will help her become a better player however I would be more concerned about safety. Older girls hit a lot of harder and the pitcher is the closest fielder!

Melissa-
From what I'm gathering it seems that what you really value the most on whether or not her skills are going to get any better staying with her current team that seems to giving her little or no attention when it comes to the pitching aspects.

I would suggest that you go communicate with her current coach to find out what you can do to help improve her skills (I am assuming that when you stated "..falling behind in her skills [..]" that you were talking about her pitching skills). The coach may be respecting the space and the fact that your daughter has an instructor. It' really up to you (the support and communication with coach and instructor) and the instructor (the one who should be letting her know what she should be doing outside of lessons) to better her skills. Consider sitting back going through the coaches perspective because I know the first place to go is to think that your daughter's pitching skills are getting worse because of the coach not paying attention to her but there's other variables going on. Now if it's her total skills that are falling- fielding, throwing, hitting and more- then take her out and put her into a program that will give her the attention that she will need to further or overall skills.

Pitching alone though- well, why is her skills falling behind?
How often is she practicing her skills away from the instructor?
How often does she see the instructor?
Does she keep a journal of what she does everyday to better her skills?
Has she grown?
Does she eat enough?
Is she hydrated all the time?
Has she lost weight?
Negativity talked about her coach and how he's not paying attention to her- the mental state can go a long way?
..these would be some of the variables that can affect he abilities and can contribute to her skills falling.

Without a doubt if she's going to get better skill development with her pitching coach then that's great- move her up because mentally she can learn to mature faster competing against older athletes then staying with her own age group- as long as you show her the positive sides every step of the way and encourage her to look at the quality of play, teachings and more (the bigger picture). Because I have come across athlete's parents that pulled their daughters out because they wanted them to stay with their age group based on emotional comfort rather then looking at it from a maturity and skills development stand point, and that's part of the reason why they are behind in abilities or their skill level continues to fall.

Keep in mind- that I am wanting you to understand the variables that are involved rather then basing the decision on her current coach not giving her attention in an area that her pitching coach is and should be. Because you could bring her up to a winning team and she still lacks the attention because now her pitching coach has to deal with other things or might only pay attention to her pitching.

Hope this helps Melissa with a different perspective.

of corse! :) ! yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

umm no that is dumb no offense

no too young not going delvolp that fast

What did you end up doing? Last year we made the jump leaving my daughter's rec team behind and going for travel ball. She loves her friends but was not being challenged enough - by the coach or other teams. This year we are in the same boat as you b/c my daughter is turning 10 and the travel team she joined this year is moving up to U12.

Why would u move an 11 year old up 2 14u? If u think she is good enough 2 play in 14u, then move her up. But, find a different pitching coach that is better, that is near ur home or near her program, and that is CHEAP. If u think the 14u coach is way better than the 12u coach, I give that a 100% YES! SEE I'M 11 YRS AND PITCH. ALSO, I HAVE A COACH THAT HAS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND IM THINKING OF GOING 2 14U 4 BETTER SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE TOO. I'M NOT LYING AND NOT KIDDING!

If the tips I gave u fail, than i'm sorry!!
Also, I want 2 be the next Jennie Finch!! (lolz)
TELL UR DAUGHTER I SAID GOOD LUCK IN GAMES!!

No! she should be playing with her own age.

no shes only 11 her hand is to small to grip the ball
