From what I have seen from Dukes Nationals
2022 – “Holdback City”, but actually decent only if they have ALL their players are together (again, only when not playing with their primary club team).
2023 – Is a B Team at best. Always lose to A and B Teams when it counts. They need better coaches for sure.
2024 – Is a C Team and cannot even beat 2025 teams. No consistent coaches. They only have one coach when he’s even there.
2025 – May have something there.... 5th Grade, sure.

Dukes Nationals is not going to help your son with 8 or 9 practices a year, but Gonzo will help to empty your pockets.
