[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone speak to their experience with Fairfax Stars? DS made the 10U team.

What about the St. James AAU team? We expect DS to make it there as well.  We were not able to try out for Nova CAVS or NOVA 94 due to conflicts with other games.

As others have said, a team is as good as the talent level recruited and the coaching. And how many players are stacked onto the team.

Fairfax Stars is a solid AAU organization, tops for girls but not recently competitive for boys. It is expensive... registration/practice fee ($475 I think) charged for the season (and charges for every season), plus uniforms, plus cost-sharing of all tournaments, and expenses (mileage) for coaches to attend away tournaments.

St James hires "professional" coaches/trainers so you are essentially paying for training and expensive gym space. I think the fee was $1000 last fall/winter. But some of the coaches quit last year leaving the teams hanging.

I consider both to be decent starter teams for development. NoVA Cavs and Nova94 (orange) had their pick of talent from the many FCYBL travel kids who showed up for tryouts.

FWIW The talent level at the Stars tryouts was pretty solid. Most likely as they had their existing roster show up  - so maybe they were only looking to fill a handful of spots? The coach also seems solid and not a dad coach.   [/quote]
