Q & A with Ebe Helm, Duke's Lacrosse President, Covering Duke's National's and the Premiere National Alliance.

 

Q : Do you plan on Replacing what was the Duke's National's Program?


A : Great question. We are Excited to Announce that the Previous Duke's National Entity has been REPLACED by THE PREMIER NATIONAL ALLIANCE. With this Remaking of the Duke's National Program, we feel that we've gotten back to the Roots of the Duke's Lacrosse Club which stands for Respectability, a Foundation of Integrity, Honesty, Trust and Reliability that it has Always stood for. 

 

Q : Does the New Duke's Nationals Program with the Premier National Alliance Cover all Age Groups?

 

A : No, the Age Groups covered are from 2023's down to 2030's. 


Very Exciting !!!

Q & A with Duke's Lacrosse President, Ebe Helm Covering Multi Topics Including Duke's Programs and Duke's National's.

 

Q : Understanding that the Duke's Lacrosse Club has Multi Regional Programs, can you advise just what happened with the Duke's National's Program that operated under the Duke's Lacrosse Club?


A: Duke's National's Program was actually a Duke's Regional Program but they Named themselves Duke's National's because they Recruited with No Territorial Boundaries at the Middle School Age while all our other Duke's Regional Programs operate within Specific Territories.
 

The Duke's National's Program as it Previously Existed under the Duke's Lacrosse Club was Terminated, Removed and Discontinued under the prior Leadership because it Failed to Deliver on it's Primary Mandate and  because there were Multi other Issues that Compromised the Values and Integrity of Duke's Lacrosse Club.


Q : If this Duke's National's Regional Program was Terminated, can you be more Specific about why and what the Problems were that you Encountered to force this Termination?


A : Where do I start. Let me be brief and just respond to the specifics of so many of your phone calls, emails, Blogs and the many Complaints from Events, Tournaments, Hotels, Many, many Vendors; Facility's, College Coaches, Other Club Coaches and Programs; Duke's Coaches and most Importantly Player's and Parents.
It frankly just became to Difficult to Explain and Navigate thru these Inconsistencies and Complaints that demanded Responsible Replies and Answers to all these Entities.

 

Additionally, with the Failure to Respond to a Primary Mandate; the lack of Respect for the History of who Duke's Lacrosse Club is and what it Represents just could No longer be Overlooked, Ignored or Compromised .
 

Bottom line, Our Integrity as a Program was at stake and having to Continuously Field all of these Complaints about a Total lack of Transparency; a Total Lack of Effective Communications; Ongoing Money Issues and so much more that so many of you Commented on simply didnt allow us to Continue with this Duke's National's Program under the Duke's Lacrosse Club's Name.


Q : How can the Previous Duke's National's People Continue to Use your Name?


A : We will defer to our Attorney's who have Filed a "Cease and Desist" Order on that Issue. We expect this to be resolved amicably but if not then expect the next step will be an Injunction and Multi Court Filings seeking Damages and a Formal Remedy. But again, that will be something our Attorney's handle.


Q : Can Players and Family's contact you or the Duke's Lacrosse Club Program to see where they may Fit within your Duke's Programs?


A : Definitely YESFeel free to Email me @ dukeslaxx13@aol.com or call me on my cell phone number of 610-247-5253 and we will review options for you to remain in or join one of our Duke's Lacrosse Club Programs.
