[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any recent experience (like last year or so) with St James girls' club vb?

One more newby family looking at St James.  DD trying out for U12 and the coaches are Angelica Nichols and Nikki Barbry. Any info on them in particular?  DD went to a clinic and really enjoyed it.  Kids broken up into smaller groups, did super fun/dynamic drills, coaches appeared to be really enjoying themselves (contrast with a Mojo skills clinic we went to last week that was a sh*tshow to say the least--so many girls of all ages thrown together onto one court with only two coaches overseeing the process, very little actual coaching happening and lots of standing around waiting for your turn to hit).  Could someone explain why St James hasn't been able to recruit top talent/achieve better results when the coaches seem great and the facility is beautiful and very convenient to all DMV areas (right off Beltway)?  My theory is that Nikki is only a few years in as director so maybe she is trying to rebuild a program that struggled previously but is now on the right track?   Thanks for any advice in navigating this process.  [/quote]

Having to get on the beltway at rush hour will turn most really good players away.

Correction--convenient for those who can take 495 express lanes (I guess that limits it to Tysons area?) so fair point, getting there from Maryland or DC (or even Arlington) would likely be a nightmare.[/quote]
