[quote=Anonymous]We had a daughter at Baltimore Armour and Pipeline.  We chose BA because she was with Pipeline, it was the "next level up", a few of her friends went as well, and BA was actually closer to us.  It was either go to BA or find another team as Pipeline didn't really have a good avenue for elite play at the older years.  If she was in the same spot today we would have stayed with Pipeline.

I've heard about some of the issues on the girls side, mainly the troubled 2006ish girls who have a couple wild animal of parents and players, but we didn't experience first hand on our teams.  I mean, they had to disable teamsnap chat because parents were fighting with each other over the team messages...unbelievable.  We have a son who plays there who is younger, but again, really haven't experienced any of the issues/fake rumors that go around.

In regards to the incident with the removal of kids from the team, it is once again twisted and we know people on the team.  The parent was a known problem and had been warned previously for their actions.  Calling what he did to the coach after the game "approached" is comical.  It was threatening and he was asked to the leave the team as any organization would do.  I don't know what happened with the other kids, but probably were told to leave because of the parent (the one child was definitely removed from the team), or the parents pulled the kids after the incident and then started rumors because they wanted a refund.  I have no idea, but either way, the parent was a nightmare and they were probably eager to remove.

I've actually been really happy to have my kids at Pipeline and if I wasn't happy they wouldn't be playing there.  The organization as a whole is definitely more arrogant than most and that can turn off some people, but we are happy there overall as no place is perfect.  For what it's worth I really enjoyed BA as well.  Just not sure how the girls or boys side will do with so many other options available.  [/quote]
