For 2014, these are all in my plan. You will see a huge change in her. Get more flexible and stronger is the goal. I'm in the process of welding monkey bars to hang on my garage ceiling. Will get more strength and conditioning tools also.

The only wrestling that Cora is doing is at the gym when they do No Gi day (Fridays). Coach Todd Moore incorporate a lot of wrestling into his BJJ so it translate into his teaching. Other top level kids that I know either have Judo or Wrestling on top of BJJ. Between her gym training and me teaching her 10thplanet system, I don't think we have any time for other outside training. Since your system incorporate a lot of catch wrestling, I'm hoping that is enough so that we just focus on JJ. I was watching Marcelo video where he say that if you want to get good at JJ, just train JJ.
Brandon, although it might not seem like it. But back in high school, I took 2nd place at state in power lifting. At 128 lbs I was squatting 500 lbs, deadlift 475-500 lbs (sumo style), and bench 225-250 lb (before my shoulder turn really bad). The only reason I didn't get 1st because this other kid bench 300 lbs!!! Yes at 128 lb division. I'm no stranger to lifting weights, but I don't think I will let Cora train as hard as I did. Don't want to stun her growth you know...:)
Bodyweight is fine. Anyone who can do 10-20 pistol squats and glute ham raises is beast. Pullups, dips, and pushups with angle variations mid rep. Also practice headstands and walking on her hands. I understand your hesitance to not add weight. More than stunting growth it can lead to joint compression and degeneration. Everything in our body reacts well to more weight except cartilage. Anyway, gymnasts and acrobats are the strongest and most agile lb for lb. There isn't one muscle group that can't be fully and functionally worked by our own gravity. This is just my opinion.
Here is another one. If you don't figure four you legs on the samurai, you only have one bent leg to drive him over and down with. In your own weight class all good, but if he's heavier and ready to counter, you're gonna need that other leg to drive and take the strain away from your lcl. I've seen 'em pop and almost felt mine almost go before.
I've Got ryan halls 50/50 series dvds on Arm Triangles, Triangles, 50/50 guard, inverted guard, back attacks, passing the guard, and deep half, as well as his dvds from TLI. It will be 2-3 months before I catch up to them, as i've got another 50 dvds in line before them to get through... I very much support buying DVD's from guys who put out such quality content, such as the likes of ryan, eddie, reillly bodycomb, etc although often I have to "borrow" copies from friends to keep my collection complete as well since often these sets range into the hundreds... If anyone ever needs to 'borrow' a copy of something to check it out to see if its worthwhile before a purchase, let me know... I am also always looking for seminar footage to add to my library, if anyone has any video of ANY instructor of any rank in any system teaching that they wouldn't mind being shared with me(and not redistributed past me), please hit me up as I am a collector and looking to get any thing I can to add to the collection.
