Just a note and not to discourage; when we went to travel we were 8yr olds playing 10u year we thought our girls were the best in the area. We had a collection of girls that were the best of the LL all-stars from 5 different cities. I will never forget when we got to our first tournament, (a B level) the size of the girls we were playing, it seemed they were 5 years older than our girls, and way better, smoother, ready to play 3 games in a day. It was awesome, and fortunately instead of being intimidated our daughters decided that they wanted to be like those girls. We are now 11u and all but one of those girls still play TB, 5 of them are still together on our team.
