[quote=Anonymous]My child has been with Pipeline for around 5years on boy’s side, also played one year for another Baltimore club. I have another child who doesn’t play soccer, but has played club lacrosse for two well known Baltimore club.  That child has a number of friends who play on the 04 and 05 girls teams.  Her friends love it.

We don’t socialize with our coach and or the owners.  Our kid is not on the top team.  I would say in his age group, 80 percent of the kids have been with Pipeline for the past 3 years or longer.  I’ve seen kids get moved up and down and have never wondered why, it has always been kids who are obviously excelling, or struggling.  Pipeline pays its coaches better than any other Baltimore area club and most have been with the club for years.  I know the coaches in his age group consult one another and there is a Pipeline “system” they are teaching the kids.  I feel my child has improved a lot, and is getting good coaching.

It isn’t perfect, no club is.  I do think that management has been responsive to parent complaints.  They are fairly organized, and schedules are available weeks in advance.  The other soccer club in Baltimore my child played for was poorly organized and any question (including the innocuous, what can I work on to get more playing time) was seen as a challenge, and met with retaliation.

Good luck in making your decision.[/quote]
