[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi does anyone have any experience with the winter programming for striker training with The St. James?
Was it helpful to your child? Do you think it was worth it?

Thanks [/quote]
We did it 3 times. Twice over the winter and one time in the summer.  The lead trainer, Jack Stefenawsky was amazing. But I'm not sure if he's running it anymore.

When he did the sessions, it was very deliberate and he did very striker specific drills for the kids.  Which was great.  The better sessions only had 8 kids or so.

The bad sessions were when the sessions had 20 kids and the B level coaches ran the sessions.  Then the previously good training went from individual shooting drills, 1v1s & 2v2s to big scrimmages where so many kids are involved your kid is only getting half the amount of practice in.

So, it depends on the number of kids participating and the coaching staff.  Last summer, we had a friend participate and there were only 6 kids, which was amazing.   My kid definitely liked it, but the results were mixed based on the number of kids participating.  We saw some improvement, but it wasn't massive.  Also, it depends if the St James FC travel kids are participating in the striker training or not.  When they did, about 6-8 kids extra would come over to participate, in their uniforms and kind of take over the training.

I would reach out to ask if those kids will also be participating, if so, it will be more crowded and it will be more of extension of their practice sessions.
