About 15 yrs ago I had the same thoughts, had two partners that I was working with who ran a baseball org with 30 teams (built in customers) and we had the spot picked out, 3 million in investment money ....... then those two guys had a huge falling out. Split the org in half, it was bad...
So yes I know and show how to do everything I teach...... I will never take away from those who studied the games ins and outs and put in the work to become a knowledgeable person. That's like say John Wooden had nothing to teach Kareem.
I had a couple Demar's that flaked off paint.... then the hottest bat ever Demarini Juice I literally blew it up during Snowball tourney.... it was awesome to see a bat explode though
Ah yes.... this is a problem and will become toxic fast. So the thing that is most said on our field/practice by all the girls on my team is "Next Pitch!" ..... that's our mantra when we are struggling with anything. It's a signal that the game isn't over, the tourney isn't over, your playing...
The catcher's throw is different than any other throw on the field. Make sure she is not using her 3rd base arm motion to catch.....it's hard to change and takes tons and tons of reps. But you can see someone who played catcher 20 yrs later with that arm motion still.

I would wait until she is healthy and ready to roll. There is plenty of teams who would look at a girl after season started who is coming off an injury. Typically there is too many teams and not enough girls. So let a few coaches know the situation and that you will be looking for a team once...
1. You don't cut someone do to injury..... from a real travel ball coach. You have them sit on the bench and motivate your players while still paying due cause this stuff is expensive.
2. Cutting a player for injury is crazy, players go all out for you and sometimes they get injured. If you cut...
This is most likely going to go very poorly..... one team might be better, or they might not click at all. The teams that got all their best players taken from them isn't going to be good and all of those girls will most likely leave. Plus hurt feelings of them not being up the A team.
So have...
If i'm one of your Parents sitting in the stands and I notice that you didn't attempt a little clock manipulation when needed (switching LF to catcher is too much) and we lose....... then you didn't do enough for your team.
Everyone who says "oh we just want our kids to grow and have fun" is...
