I've done a small amount of each, and it appears to me that the differences aren't so much a matter of moving "up" as moving across. It's a different game, and different skills are needed. Boys play faster, as a rule, and girls tend to use more teamwork, although some of that depends on the coach. Each will travel about the same, but in different ways. Girls travel more in moving from a stand to a walk or run. Boys travel more on the "jump stop". Girls have more problems with legal screens. Boys have more problem defending the shot cleanly. In girls varsity, you are more likely to have a very wide range of skills on the floor, since, over all, fewer girls play, and have less experience as a group. Boys will tend to be more even. Girls games have more blow-outs. Boys games have more blow-ups.
These are all generalizations, and may not apply to this game or that team. But these are the kinds of adjustments you will need to make. It seems to me.
