All the while G was running around trying to manage a two day tournament, hand out uniforms and helmets and run a Mini Camp for 5 age groups. So you can imagine how much attention the 2024 team got from G (not very much, but the 2024 team should be used to that by now). Why don't G you just pay a coaching staff for the 2024's? They need Offensive and Defensive coordinator coaches to run plays and defensive structure. Oh and maybe know the kids names. Until then Dukes Nationals 2024 will never be able to compete at the AA level. G won't get any more of my money. The 2024's are a joke.



Think about this. While I can't speak for the coaching situation do you really think its that important to run "plays"? I guess your son has never been on a team that runs so many plays that the kids stop playing the game and start worrying about getting screamed at by the coach for making the wrong play. You don't need a thousand yellows to get your offense or defense set up. That is the beauty of putting talented and motivated kids together, you don't need to do all that.

Under the current structure, without these "plays" the 2024s consistently either win the tournaments they play in or are always in the championship game. Not too many teams can say that. So are these "plays" really that important? I bet that is why the kids like playing with the Dukes. They can have fun again.
