St. James is a fantastic family destination! We enrolled one of our kids in a volleyball clinic and were impressed with the coaching. The staff at St. James are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place for families looking for fun and active activities!

If you’re looking for a hockey program for your child, choose St. James. Kyra and the hockey program are VERY organized, thorough and communicate beyond expectations. They offer great programs for beginners all the way through the elite levels. We’ve had nothing but great experiences.
