Not sure if you are being serious but their top clubs are good. Bahl's Nebraska Gold team (with her pitching) beat their 18U team in the PGF championship game a few years ago in 9 innings.Lol...WHO are they...?

The owner of the organization, James Lamar, is married to Marissa Young, the HC at Duke University. They've had quite a few big-name recruits who made a name for themselves in other organizations and were poached by the LD. There's a serious conflict of interest there with the HC of Duke advising players to get ready for college they need to play for the LD organization.Lol...WHO are they...?

I love this from their website. As if they're all top-tier teams.
" In just 4 years, the Lady Dukes Softball Organization has grown from 4 NC based teams to ~50 teams competing in 8U - 18U age groups, with local, regional and..."
My DD plays on a brand name team currently. I never thought about it in terms of the team being "elite" or not. I thought about it like I would any franchise in any business. I have a decent sense of what I'm going to get by using them.part of the things that I keep seeing, and NOT bashing the names, is the Franchise fee / Name type arrangements. Like Texas Glory. great org from what i've heard. But does that mean Texas Glory in Ohio is to same level??? again, NOT bashing the org, just a recent example i've seen.
There are Lady Dukes, Bat Busters, etc, teams all over the place now. It's just hard for me to imagine that all these teams being renamed, are at the same upper echelon level as the original namesakes.
I think their 16’s/18’s are really good. I could be wrong, but I don’t know of any 14’s and below which are really competitive on the National level. Could be partly due to what @LEsoftballdad referred to before..We've beaten every single one we've played.
Their NC 16/18s are very good. The rest are just franchised teams, and while they may be good teams, they're not the Premier teams. You will very rarely see any of those franchise teams playing PGF or on the Power Pools of any major tournament.I think their 16’s/18’s are really good.

That is what I meant while also trying to say that I don’t know if their NC 14’s are at the same level..(if they even exist)Their NC 16/18s are very good.
