How to keep Her Mind on the Game??

How to keep Her Mind on the Game??

I have a team of 7-9 yr olds. One of my girls gets distracted on crt, I have seen her looking up at the sky in a world of her own, How can I gently encourage her to keep her mind on the game??

they are 7-9 yr olds...lol  its a tough age to keep them focussed, more so because of the way the game is played (ie lots of quiet time for the shooters and defence).  maybe move her into a position that forces her to keep her focus.  but honestly, i wouldnt worry too much.  i think if i was that age, the sky would look very interesting too, when the ball is not in my hands...lol
