L.L. 8.05 - An illegal pitch is -
(c) a "quick" return pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter's box.
I personally do not hold up my hand nor "require" the batter hold up their hand. If a batter is getting situated in the box, I consider a pitch delivered to catch a batter off balance to be a quick pitch, and rule accordingly to what organization I am calling.
Why do you want to teach your daughter how to quick pitch? Wouldn't it be more sporting to teach her how to wait until the batter is ready? I think Little League likes to strive for promotion of sportsmanship.
