My son is academically motivated anyway.



Good choice looking in Freedom, great coaches and nice families. The Academic excellence has disappeared along with the rest of the program. Dukes management no longer request reports cards from the players or host the Annual banquet to recognize the Academic athletes that the program is always marketing. The program has gone down hill and is not worth time/money or the aggravation it causes with the BS that is shoveled by management.

Dukes Thread, RIP.


2022 dad here. My son loves this team and the kids on it. He's been on the team for almost two years and while there have been changes, all the changes have been positive. Not every game, camp, event is perfect nor is it meant to be. Same with life. No my son hasn't turned in a report card- but his grades are his to own. No he didn't go to summer banquet- and he doesn't care. He does care about the lacrosse, the coaches, friends and families that show up and compete every month and doesnt care at all about who is the best, what other clubs are doing or who is playing where. Its just competitive youth lacrosse for fun. There will always be more kids that don't make it than do and therefore more families looking for something else. Its all OK. G is a good man that works hard at his craft. Dukes is a great organization and I am glad to be a part of it.


Obviously written by Dukes management. The 2022 may be in good shape but the rest of the teams are a complete disaster and I am not sure anyone would agree that Dukes national management is good and work hard at there craft..more like the Duke's management likes money and wants more of it!!!

I'm looking forward to watching my son thrive, despite the fact that I'm saving money by not sending him to another, superfluous skill building opportunity.

Which Dukes team will be in Delaware Sunday to face LI express? Nationals? Koopers? Big match up to start the year. Can’t see Dukes winning this one.

there is no comparison between Brotherly Love and Dukes Nationals. BL is run by gentlemen with a genuine interest in player development and fielding a winning team while DN is run by a tyrant like egomaniac who only wants to get your money and pretend he runs a quality program. he has changed this roster and pricing model a half dozen times in the past year. That program will not be around in a year so save your money if you are considering joining or up for renewal. G is a fraud

Is Dukes providing the most enjoyable and rewarding experience for its players? Is that what wins means? Do the talented kids win because of Dukes or despite Dukes? I wonder if they could win and have a better experience elsewhere?

Agreed, Dukes Nationals 2023 best players all play on Local Philly club teams (Freedom/Mesa/HHH) and Dukes National would not be able to field a 2023 team if they wanted to play any local Philly clubs/tournaments because all the Dukes Nationals players would be playing for their Philly clubs instead of Duke's Nationals that day. Plus Dukes National Management never put the team in any competitive tournaments they only play in tournaments they know they can win by a large margin over each team to be able to promote the train wreck of program it really is.

Agree, the schedule is always soft for that team, that's why they always win. Thanks for the link to confirm.

Nope. Just some crappy Maryland clubs. B-level teams at best.

What a joke of a promotion this is; this club is a total money grab scam filled with empty promises and an absolute disgrace of an evaluation process. G brings in who he wants to be on the teams; the mini-camps mean nothing and is a simple money maker so don't waste your time. Still waiting for equipment we paid for over a year ago!!! LMAO

Dukes Nationals is a trash club. You would be crazy to give them a dollar. I've never been so disappointed in a lax experience in my life.

There will be a lot of kids leaving the club at the end of this year due to all the BS associated with it how it is run by G.

You're probably correct but unfortunately there will be those kids who attend the mini camps that will fill those vacant spots

It may have started as the "premier national team" but greed and arrogance have lead to its complete and total demise. Please don't be taken in by this garbage. Unfortunately we came in near the end of what seemed like a great program only to realize just how much of G's promises are all a smokescreen for his money grabbing. So many empty promises and undelivered (literally) things. Total shame. Or is it total sham?

In all honesty it may have been the weakest of all the camps my son has attended for the 2023's. We left before it ended but this team is quickly losing players and I just heard the HC has been replaced yet again. Unless something changes drastically this team is in for a long summer.

Quick question to any parent of a Duke's Nationals players, all you read about on this site is about the depth chart (good and bad) and how important it is that the players on the teams are above the travel line to be able to play. What exactly is Duke's management saying when it posts stuff like "It's not about your status on the Depth Chart. It's about mindset" on Instagram as a noted direct quote from the director of the program? Does the depth chart not matter anymore or is it better to not worry about the depth chart and have a better mindset and that will get the players in. Very confusing message I would think for the players on the depth chart that are told that the depth chart is all that matters.

You should probably pose that question on a different age group forum 2023 pretty much now defunct.
