Not sure about this question of conflict of interest. Dukes Nationals is still national?? There is already a Duke's VA and PA so why not NY? What is the issue? Many clubs teams in multiple locations. The National team attracts players from all over.[/quote]

The Duke's NY state team is promoting itself as a National team exactly the same as the Duke's Nationals team, G does not run the affiliated Duke's clubs out of the other states (VA and PA) if it was an affiliate of the original Duke's no problem but since it is marketed as a National team and G is running it, it is a complete conflict of interest against Duke's national team that is already in existence. What will they do, move all the NY players already on the Duke's National team to the Dukes NY national team? What teams go to what National tournaments? Both?? [/quote]
Wouldn't it be up to the player/parent to decide? We sign up for the mini camp. Just sign up for the one you feel is a better fit. They run the team but they cannot make you drive to upstate NY. As far as tournaments go, many clubs do face one another but some try to avoid it in the scheduling if they can. As a new team, who even knows if the NY team will be at the level to play the same event. Have not even had a tryout yet.[/quote]

*G tried to start a Dukes National Girls team too-never had one tryout!
