Up until a certain age it really doesn’t matter if the boys and girls are playing together, so this is a good thing to do. She’s talented enough if they decided this so this will be good for her development. A lot of people have played in teams with girls when they were young kids, who cares.
I call BS here; go read the first chapter of the book Outliers. Early years, physical development matters a LOT. Studies showed pro-athelete's birthdays are biased heavily towards the beginning of the year. The idea being that at age 4.75 say you have an extra .75 years of physical development over peers born later in the year. This manifests in you seeing more of the play as you'll be physically dominant. This compounds into more practice, eventually leading to being better (on average), so playing more, so getting better, so getting picked for development teams, so getting better and on & on.
Nah u10 its fine
