Parents of young lacrosse athletes say they're out of thousands of dollars after the owners of Rebels Lacrosse LLC and Blatant LLC said they are filing for bankruptcy and shutting down the clubs.

The Hodge family, whose son is on one of the teams, say they spent thousands of dollars on gear and tournaments. The family also says many of the items never showed up.
