I'm guessing you are playing a town organization that travels to play other town organizations and it only cost about $100 for a kid to play and that is why you have a 14 year old with no experience. I had this at 12U. What I did was explain to the parents that until DD could demonstrate proficiency in catching she was only playing the outfield and they needed to help out in this area. I worked with the girls and they progressed. If she has any athleticism she should catch on pretty quick. Hey a pun. If not you are in for some tongue biting as the season goes on.
FWIW, it's easy to coach a team of superstars, take pride in the small victories with this girl. The greatest joy I got out of the game was seeing a player like this get the pats on the back from teammates and the ear to ear smiles that come with it.
