[quote=Anonymous]We are very happy at Pipeline on the boys side and it has been a great club for our children who have played there for years.  Every place has their issues, but we love it there. HOWEVER, I have definitely heard about the drama on the girls side and would probably want no part of that!  I've found that most girls teams have way more drama than boys teams in general.  You really see it here on this forum with the crazy soccer parents who fight over the most insane things for girls soccer.

I will say the knock against Pipeline being "shady" with their teams in age groups is somewhat true, and somewhat an exaggeration.  They will move kids around and in my experience that really pisses off parents.  We had a kid a few years ago who was playing up come back to play on his age group team for a tournament.  It was most likely done to get a medal, but also to give the kid some on age experience because he wasn't getting as much time on the year up team as the parents had hoped for so they were considering moving him back down to his age.  A lot of parents freaked out because he was taking time away from kids on the team, but the coaches were trying to see what was best for the kid (and frankly get a win).  He was pretty dominant playing on age and people were suspicious so you start getting comments about "cheating".  In the championship game the opposing coach asked for his playing card and it showed him on the team a year above, but he was rostered as a guest player for the on age team.  Everyone lost their S and were calling the Pipeline kids cheaters after they lost.  Was it illegal?  No, he was rostered as a guest player and it was an opportunity for him to play on age group during his team's off week.     [/quote]
