[quote=Anonymous][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]

That parent did not "threaten" DP. Not even close. DP completely lost it on the dad. Yes, the Dad is a known complainer, that I won't deny. It is known pretty well with the 07s. Still there was absolutely no reason for him to act that way towards the PP. He also told the player right on the spot that she was off the team. Is that how you would expect a coach to handle the situation. DP is a known right-wing conspiracy theorist who was also at the insurrection. Real "Classy" Coach there....

Pipeline settled out of court with Coppermine. Fact, like it or not.

The Elite Tournament rumor is not true. Pipeline was never banned. It is quite the opposite really. Many clubs do not enter Elite Tournaments because of how they have handled refunds among other things...

About TeamSnap...I guess there is three teams that have gotten banned or discouraged from using the chat function. 06,08, and 09. The 2010's aren't far behind from what I hear. Sorry, but the girls side 2006 and under is a disaster despite the results.

Lastly, Pipeline is known for rostering it's top kids down in EDP the "B" and "C" teams just to get results, robbing other teams of a fair chance to win. While it might be within the rules, it certainly isn't ethical. This has been happening for the past five years in order to get wins and get a higher rank with the hopes of recruiting kids.

I can't say anything about the Boys side as I have no clue.
