How do I increase my daughter's running speed?

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I have a daughter who just turned 12 and is a great control pitcher. She has her pitching speed up to about 46 mph. My problem is her running speed. She is very, very slow. She runs flat foot and I have no idea how to help her improve it. She would be a great all-around player if we can get her running up to speed, no pun intended.

Any thoughts or ideas on this? Can a child become a faster runner?

Thank you,
