Defecting is the wrong word. Defecting insinuates a lack of loyalty. There is no loyalty with Dukes Nationals. The original concept was good. Outing a group ofmteally talented kids together was great. My son was on the original team and we stayed longer than I wanted to only because he liked his friends on the team. We received the nasty, “if he doesn’t play in the [ChillLaxin] Dukes tournament this weekend instead of playing for his good club team, he’s cut” phone call. It’s a shame. Good idea, but run by a money hungry stunad. Don’t waste your time or your money.
