[quote=Anonymous]We know a couple families with kids there and in my experience it is a polarizing club.  People either love or despise.  A lot of the rumors are spread by a couple organizations/upset parents that have had a falling out with the club and as you say, most are exaggerations at best.

We have played their boys teams and they can flat out play and look to be developing a good way of playing at the younger ages vs a punt to a fast kid up top you see at that age.  They have been successful in the older teams as well with several highly ranked teams and it's across almost all ages so I think that is telling of what they are accomplishing.  Now, what I have heard from people I know there is that some of the girls teams are "troubled" with some really crazy parents/kids/coaches and there is a lot of frustration that the organization isn't stepping in more to stop the behavior until recently when they removed a parent and their kids from the organization after repeated warnings.  Everyone I know on the boys side love it there, except for one, who left two years ago.  The parents thought their kid was special, he was not, Pipeline basically told the family that and they threw a fit after the kid was placed on the second team.   They seem to have a win at all costs culture so if that is a turn off for you it is something to consider, but like you said, if you are ok with your kid being cut for the shiny new toy it may not be a shock, but it may be to your kid.

I would have no problem recommending a son to their teams.  I've always been impressed with those teams and how kids develop there.  If it was my daughter I would look a little closer and maybe ask some more questions if you talk to someone there. [/quote]
