San Jose Saints Pop Warner

I should’ve Posted this Last Year when it all happen but Beware!!!
My family went into my sons first ever season in tackle football with this organization and was told it would be a great experience all around. (Famous last words!!!) In the season I speak of, we went through seeing a head coach get into more than a few heated arguments with parents on the practice field. We saw a blatant show of favoritism, neglect of some children. (None of this was done to my son but we saw it done to others) We saw the president of the Saints go above and beyond to sweep several incidents under the rug and or just flat out ignore them.
I will not go on about everything I will just say be aware that there own Board of leaders (president etc…) are at odds and the top 2 Husband and wife tend to control with an iron fist. The communication for practices was horrible some time s we didn’t know tell 1 hour before scheduled times. The locations moved multiple times. The home games are often no place near their home area. They also did not have any kind or training equipment (tackling dummies, blocking shields, step over pads etc…)
On a few Positive notes they do have families that are dedicated to the children and teams and do the team mom roles and volunteer time. We left this organization for another and I have to say have had a completely reversal in experience. Please do your child and your family a favor before taking part with this organization and ask around. Because I take time to write about our family’s experience, you should find out about others.
