Sac will take over probably.

Quantara will have to step down at da to focus on ecnl.

Armour has yet to announce a single DA session.


Zero info about next year, ID sessions or anything to generate interest...

I think were April last year, so don't expect them to announce until March.

Pipeline and Celtics are both moving to ECNL. That makes zero sense. Pipeline? yes. Celtics? Maybe? The boys side is already there but the Celtics is next to MUFC.

Yes, 99% certainty Pipeline goes ECNL and SAC will retain and manage Baltimore Armour.

Both Pipeline and Celtic had meetings with ECNL last week.

SAC currently shuffling to prepare for the shift but will not announce anything until Pipeline/Celtic make announcements.

No timeline on when that will happen.

Most likely. Baltimore based ecnl club would be good in my opinion. Options are always good.

That isn’t true, a good number of boys from Pipeline move to da each year.


What's a good number? If Pipeline is a full partner with SAC the boys Armour teams should have roughly the same number of SAC and PSC players. At least in the younger teams they don't - those teams are mainly SAC. And not surprisingly, PSC has better teams than SAC in those younger teams.

Pipeline put 4 boys teams into National League this year (and 4 girls, so combined more than any other team). That's certainly impressive, but does make one wonder if their best players are moving to DA or staying at PSC.


The boy Armour teams share practice fields with SAC. It’s a good 30 minute commute from where Pipeline practices, with normal traffic. I know some Pipeline families who don’t let their kids move to da until they can drive themselves because it is a helluva commute for 4 times a week, but also know some Pipeline families whose son’s moved up to da in middle school.

The bottom line is clubs don't want to be feeders. There is no incentive for it. It also upsets the parents and families who stay behind. Any club that can get an ECNL or DA will do it.

These partnerships do not work based on quotas. It is supposed to be merit based and trying to promote equally every year just isn’t realistic even if it is ideal. Some years it might work out but probably not many.
