If you read it...Just talking girls side What does it mean to be a Academy coach for a couple years Sorry for every A licensed coach you think is good...there is 3 coaches that suck with the same license I have seen high school players with no club experience go to play at colleges I am not saying they are bad coaches...I expected better on the girls side...this is the all mighty Pipeline...I thought they would have multiple College Coaches on staff |

Is this person delusional?
How many college coaches coach club. Outside of McLean, I don’t know if too many college coaches who also coach club. |
Yes, it's not common at all. There's no time for that. |
UMBC coaches are constantly helping and coaching at Celtic in Maryland.... |
Pretty sure its just that guy Anthony Adams, who has a daughter on the team he coaches. |
+1. Not common at all. |
Arlington girls have Georgetown assistant coaches on staff. |
| Celtic has both UMBC Women's Assistants on their staff...have McDaniel College Women's assistant on their staff...Anthony(Mens Associate Head Coach) on Women's Staff...AACC Head Women's Coach on Staff...and their Girls DOC was a college coach |
|
yes it's probably Anthony. He's been coaching at UMBC for around 20 years (or more?) so probably likes to help out with his daughter's team and youth. He was really involved with the Bays when they still existed.

Honestly, I am not sure why this necessarily matters. I may not want collegiate coaches at the youth level any more than I want college professors teaching middle school. People who need to rely on these kinds of credentials probably do not know much good soccer when they see it. Hence they fall back on things associated with success in professional worlds - where else the coaches have been and what coaching license they have. Pretty silly for reason that Pipeline dad already pointed out. |
| Does the Celtic / Union partnership affect anything Pipeline was trying to do in joining ECNL |
If your kid is a Junior or Senior it is an extended look from a college program. |
No. All three are separate clubs except that BU and BC are partnering to play their top kids in the GA or ECNL (Boys). |
I am confident clubs without a single college coach on staff do great if the talent is there. I would distrust any collegiate program that recruited based on that kind of thinking. |
