So just the pre-academy teams will play ecnl? that'd be an even greater conflict of interest for Pipeline staff/players

Pipeline and BA are entirely different organizations. Not sure how there could possibly be a conflict.

Incorrect. BA girls is run by the same people running Pipeline.

There’s overlap but it’s not the same, the da is run in conjunction with SAC and has a different board.

Again, incorrect. Papers were signed. BA girls is completely controlled/run by Pipeline staff. SAC owns the rights to the BA name/use but is not involved with the girls side in any capacity other than feeding players and providing fields.

Still don’t see a conflict, you seem weirdly obsessed.

Definitely a conflict. pipeline pushes a player to DA, that's one less player registration with pipeline. hurts pipelines pockets and quality of their teams. pipeline is all about $$$$ and getting Ws

Can you at least be consistent? If pipeline ownership controls BA, they profit by having full rosters for both. Pipeline has no problem finding girls to play preacademy when girls leave for BA, same for SAC. And yes, I am local to Baltimore and know kids on both teams, friends of my dd who plays a different club sport,

If VSA went on their own into DA VDA would still exist. All VSA staff would be off the VDA board but VDA would continue to run and find another club to merge with. How is this hard for you to understand?

If pipeline pulls out, then it would be run by sac

At least Pipeline dad can finally chill out about defending non-ECNL/non-DA teams. They are officially part of the system now.

This incorrect!!! SAC handles all administrative parts of Girls DA. Fields are actually split between the SAC Facility and the new field at Mercy High School. The real issue here is the relationships between Craig, John, Santino and Sean. Santino has a daughter in the DA program, also, there is a good chance DA/Pipeline will have its first player make the U16 USWNT this year. I am sure Pipeline wants to claim her.

Pipeline put out something about her making the camp today. She is described as a Pipeline alum/current BA player.

Once they join the ECNL, they will be. Being in the ECNL is being in the system.

If BA keeps DA, this will be a win-win for everyone except MUSC and BSC, which will both lose Baltimore-area players to Pipeline.

High school soccer is crap.

McDonalds sucks yet people still go because they like it. We aren't discussing quality if HS soccer. The issue is that girls play and thus any league that offers elite travel while also offering the ability to pursue HS is better than other options.

I love this ECNL and DA thing I just wish I was in on the money making schemes I'll call mine the SUPER ELITE DA CHAMPION PREMIER LEAGUE yea!!!!!

Pursing rec soccer is not a better option. Sorry, but the product is crap. You pay $10,000 a year for ECNL training to walk away from it for 3-4 months.

Tell me your kid made Varsity soccer and I'm unimpressed. It is a crap product, coached by crap coaches played by lots of crappy soccer players.

Not really. It is a social/cultural experience that some people are deep into. Others, not so much. My DD can't stand it. Even watching it is painful to her because it's just such a low level event to watch.

And the parents that complain about the "trapped 8th graders" under birth year fail to recognize the almost complete shutdown of club soccer during the HS season. Basically, if you are not in DA, of high school age and do not play high school soccer, you are not playing soccer.

Not sure if you realize that more than 75% of girls in Maryland who receive D1 scholarships play in High School. I think part of the issue is HS Soccer is not as popular as MANY other places in the US. Many in the Colonial states consider High School Soccer more important than DA/ECNL. SEVEN of the TOP 10 Junior Girls in Maryland, five of which already have selected D1 scholarships, played for their high school last fall.

Now if you are talking Top 10 College Programs in the US, that may be a different story. And if your are that arrogant/ignorant to think your DD is one of them, then it is pure luck, nothing else. 98% of all girl soccer players do not receive scholarships to college.

You are that parent, you know, the one pipe dreaming your daughter is going to make a USWNT. Or hoping your DD is going to go to Stanford or UNC and warm the bench perhaps. All while they lose out on they're childhood and teenage years because you, the parent, lost site of what is really important when your DD was age 11.

That said, you can take your high and mighty attitude elsewhere and anyone else who is of the same mind and GO POUND SAND.
