Chris, not sure what your situation is over there, or even if these things will ship to Europe, but if you have your own basketball hoop, I can't recommend the shooting machines enough. We have the Dr. Dish Home and it's so sick! There are other brands as well. The sheer volume of shots that my son can get off is insane. We've only had it setup for a few weeks, but I've already noticed a difference in his shot. Plus it's fun for myself to use or to hop in with him and compete against him in the same shooting drill.
My only gripes would be that:
1) it requires an app to run, although I guess springing for the more expensive model that comes with the built in tablet controller could be potentially worth it to avoid having your daughter need a device. I did not do that, but my work around was that I bought a super cheap tablet, and basically disabled/deleted everything off of there except the Dr. Dish app.
2) Second gripe would be that while it's easy to setup, it's a tad difficult for a kid to set up, or at least my kid as he is only currently 5' 3" and extending the arms requires some reach, and since it's not recommended to have it out in the rain so you need to put it away every day and bring it back out when you want to use it.
Other than that, definitely recommend it. It's amazing.
