Dukes tells you up front it is competitive all the time. If your son isn't one of the best players, doesn't show up or doesn't improve on a regular basis, there are other kids that do. It is really that simple. Dukes is a team that rewards 1. the hardest working, 2. most talented, 3. kids that love to play and 4 kids that are great teammates. But the player has to be 4 out of 4. Its hard but the kids that make it have fun and love it. There is not room for every player out there. There will obviously be more kids that do not make it versus those that do. So yes, buyer beware. Its exactly what they say. |
