Can you go to see a game in your area of either a professional or college level? Sometimes being there and watching a game of a higher level live can be inspiring and increase the level of passion and commitment in a young player. Are there ways for her to volunteer to help on higher level teams in your area? Like an equipment manager, ball boy/girl, help with scoreboard, or other jobs that kids sometimes get the opportunity to do? Maybe for a local college or high school team?
It sounds like good news on the reason for the placement. Sometimes holding the kid back just a bit gives them a chance to really blossom and become a leader. It helped with one of our sons. Best wishes for a wonderful summer season!
