[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St James talks a good game but there are deep, deep institutional problems. High turnover in coaches...seems to be trouble with getting the good ones to stick around. Inability to get practice fields...[b]my kid has done fielding practice in the parking lot.[/b] Teams registered for tournaments above their level resulting in demoralizing blowouts. Carrying 16 or 17 kids on a single team roster so half the team doesn't get playing time. Total train wreck of a program, but people keep signing up to pay the fees. As long as the money rolls in, nothing will change because they are in it for the profit and not for player development.[/quote]

Friend whose kid is in the program said the county didn't permit them any fields. And at least at 12U they initially thought they were going to field 2 teams but didn't end up with enough girls so they compacted.

They seem similar to Pure Performance to me from the outside of both. Both talking a big game about playing at a high level but then fielding C teams and not keeping staff around.

But yes, St James seems to push the easy button for enough parents to keep it going.[/quote]
