[quote=Anonymous]My kids both played Caps Academy before moving on to AAA. I'm of the firm opinion that what makes or breaks an organization is the families. We loved the teammates and families at Caps Academy and definitely miss that a lot. There are a few professional coaches at Caps Academy, although they tend to be older, not just out of college. I do know there was one situation recently that did not work out, and the coaches were essentially let go, and the hockey director filled in for that team for the remainder of the season. We know many who have played at Reston and I agree with the previous poster that it is kind of a weird place, run by a board that sometimes makes decisions that sometimes cause angst and cause families to depart, not that this is that different from any other rink rolling out different policies. The Reston families we know are all very nice. St James is a newer program and I feel like it has tended to collect families what have been unhappy with their prior teams. Kids who don't make AA at their former clubs will go to St James, and make a AA team, but those teams tend to be a little weaker overall. St James prides itself on not having parent coaches, but this is where you end up with a straight out of college coach which is sometimes great, and sometimes not so great. Still, none of the teams you mention are bad choices. At 10 and 12U I would go wherever is more convenient to you. [/quote]
