Your daughters physical size and strength has as much to do with selection as anything. A good starting point would be about 32 inch -10 (22 oz) if she is average size. If she is on the small side look at 31 inch -10 (21 oz).

There are two measurements for a bat. 1) Length, 2)Weight. Weight can be anywhere from 18oz to 24oz. Length may be from 24" to 34". A 5-7 year old may use a 24" bat.
