pipeline is unique from other clubs in that the toxicity stems from the top and is masked behind their mission statement and social media presence

Oh please, as one of the Pipeline parents posting above, this is absolutely not true. And really you need to work about your jealousy about their continuing success in the Baltimore market in some other way. As I said earlier, some of us can tell what club you are with and it makes you look small and petty.

Oh please! You have no idea who is posting on an anonymous forum. I have posted a couple of times sticking up for Pipeline, especially about the CoVid issue. I know for a fact there are MANY unhappy parents on the girls side. Can't speak for the boys side.

The families I am in contact with are unhappy for different reasons but none the less, they are unhappy and the majority will be leaving after Spring. Sorry to bring you the bad news, but it's fact. Just because you may be happy, doesn't always mean everyone else is. Same can also be said for just about every Club. Get over it.

Different Pipeline parent here. (Not a "rival Baltimore club" from your paranoid delusions). Kids are on top teams. Both starters and play 95% of the game. And it's a miserably toxic environment. The owners/founders create and insert themselves into all of the drama. Rampant nepotism, cronyism, bullying, . The teams are completely chaotic. New kids randomly show up at practice and then on the roster. There is zero team chemistry. Sure, we win, but we enter some of the sh*ttiest tournaments. It's a waste. There's zero development-- even on the ECNL teams-- DC's coach admitted that he knows a certain rival ECNL team will overtake ours in several years, but he has no interest in developing the teams technical skills. There's nothing to be jealous about: we saw what it looks like on the so-called top and we want out. We know many families who feel the same.

Given the overall accuracy of your postings. doubtful that a majority of the girls teams will be leaving. As I said, I love in Baltimore and my daughter has a good number of friends who play for Pipeline. Not among your ready to quit group.

Why wait to quit then? Amazing how all the unhappy parents are posters on dcum when the parents I know in real life feel differently. In any case, it sounds like your kids are very talented and could play anywhere, so why be unhappy?

For our family - not PP but other pipeline parent - we committed to a year. We don’t want to do to another team what pipeline does and have our son just roll into another club and bump a kid from his spot. I don’t know how many parents would speak honestly about issues like this at pipeline or other clubs. It has to take an admission that their kid isn’t amazing and the best soccer player ever and as many of us know, speaking out against your club can often get your child benched.
Take what you want from the pipeline parents posting. Some are happy, some are not. A question was asked and parents answered.

Most Baltimore area teams are trash. Being successful in that market is ... not impressive.

If you really feel that way, why bother wasting time on a thread about a Baltimore club?

Pipeline is playing in the ECNL Showcase in South Carolina this weekend. First time it's USYS top teams will play ECNL matches. I don't know the level of competition the teams they are playing against, but we'll see how they do.

That is incorrect...

They just won 2-1 vs. Concorde ECNL "B" team who was in RL last year. Tomorrow they play Florida Elite ECNL top team. Sunday is Colorado's 2nd team. Good luck Pipeline!
