Except we now have to travel once/twice a week to nearby towns/cities to play a game against other 7/8 year olds plus probably one practice a week... why? Why can't it just be for fun, why does it have to be competitive at this age?
I want her to have some summer fun, not be dragged to Chestermere for a 5pm softball game... wtf

That sucks. Not sure where you are in the city...
Little League Baseball has house league and specific overage rules for girls to allow for this if she want to switch to baseball but they are mixed teams.
Foothills LL has put together an all girls baseball program this year if you live in their boundary.
There is a Little League Softball:

On the baseball side, Little League tends to be the one in Calgary to offer House League + Travel + All Stars but you still have to play house league where as Alberta Baseball is just Travel/Tournament teams for mostly just u13.
Sounds like softball is the same with less house league opportunities.
