criticism of bluestar that is not related to fee structure:
I've witnessed summer practices where there are 30 kids to 1 coach at a very young age. While the coach is great with the kids, there is only so much 1 coach can do to keep 30 kids actively engaged in a practice.
On gameday I've seen the single coach completely mismanage the bench. I'm talking kids not getting the game at all and/or routinely running offense and defensive sets accidentally man-down.
Good teams routinely entered into B brackets of tournaments. Crushing other team, but not very challenging to the roster.
