Not sure what rules you are playing under. To my knowledge there are no specific 8U rules, 10U in ASA but unless there is a section I haven't read, no 8U specific.

With that being said I look at it as if an 18U girl did that prior to the pitcher releasing the ball would I call her out? Answer is probably yes! Let's not get into intent of the rule, the intent is to keep them at the base and get no advantage like 10 extra feet toward the next base. But the rule says them must stay in contact with the base until the ball is released(ASA and FED), may be a league rule in 8U or a rule set I haven't seen to stay till it is hit. In your case why I said probably is IMO, the first time I saw this I would have called time, went over to brush off 1st base and quietly told the girl to make sure she stays in contact till the ball is hit (released in older girls). In an 8U you might not get away that easy, there might have to be a coach involved to tell her that as younger girls tend to not understand little remarks from umpires without a full explanation and it is good for the coach to learn too!
