[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So did Pipeline get rejected by ECNL or still unknown?  They seem to have been putting out some decent teams without that designation so maybe it doesn't matter as much to them.[/quote]

Of the clubs out there, Pipeline is more than deserving. First, it has a trac-record of developing great teams and players. Second, there is not an ECNL club in the Baltimore area. [/quote]

Celtic is an ECNL club, in Baltimore. Pipeline has done a superb job marketing itself and selling what parents want (rankings, wins, etc.). [/quote]

But you don't get to Pipeline's level without developing talent. [/quote]

What is their "level"? They have a couple of really good teams, 07 and 06 boys preacademy specifically, but a significant amount of players from those two teams were acquired/built at other clubs. Which is fine, that's the way it works in youth soccer. But they're no more deserving than any other area club. As has been written they do a great job marketing and selling what parents crave, which = my DS/DD is on the # [whatever ] ranked team in the state, great record and a goals scored to goals conceded rations, featuring teams on social media, etc. Those don't necessarily equate to development.
