[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never watched Pipeline play, but the bragging seems familiar (Arlington and Loudoun) for teams that play in leagues other than DA or ECNL.  Once these teams moved to the top leagues in the country, well, we have seen what has happened.  I'm not saying any of them are "bad" but their regular competition is not great and can lead to an inflated idea of how great they are.  [/quote]

You folks exude ignorance. Notice that most of Pipeline's 05 team could play DA FT but decided to stay with Pipeline. To be fair, most ECNL teams in the area have not even qualified to play in the same bracket as Pipeline. Again, don't trust your own assessment, which deeply flawed due to your hubris but ask any ECNL coach. As a mater of act, the Pipeline coach was the WS MD DA director (he still might be the TD for the news DA under Armour).

DA/ECNL are great leagues but let's not ignore other high quality non-ECNL/DA teams. That is the point I want to make by using Pipeline as an example.[/quote]

The DA followed by the ECNL are better environment for development for multiple reasons including better competition.  For teams like Pipeline, in today's DA/ECNL environment then cannot develop as quickly so players there are left with two choices - leave for DA or ECNL or, over time, fall behind the kids at those DA/ECNL clubs.[/quote]
