Congrats to Pipeline 2011 Boys who brought guest players to the ECNL playoffs and moving on. Kept org members of the team sitting on the bench and pay thousands of dollars to travel.

Union guest player is in the middle of all their photos as if he is on the team now. News flash, he is not. He will be returning to the Union once this is done. Pretty sure MLS Next and ECNL rules don’t allow this.Comment

It’s unbelievable….while the real player gets to sit on the bench and watch the Union kid play his game. That pipeline kid worked his butt off all year for this. Nice job pipeline. Fake winners!Comment

it's sadly allowed, but absolutely ridiculous to do. winning at all costs at u13, unrealComment

Nice job Pipeline! Great development NOT! Only in it for the wins.Comment

So ECNL teams are allowed roster anyone? If so I’m actually surprised more ECNL teams don’t invite MLS Academy and MLS Next guests! They don’t check player cards at the ECNL playoffs?Originally posted by Guest View Post

It said a lot about the character of coaches at Pipeline.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Parents if you have an ounce of self respect and care about well being of your child keep your kid away from Pipeline and their coaches. With exception of a few they re all scumbags.Comment

A small part of me is holding out hope if we make State Cup semi-finals (and have a successful mid-table run in 2nd division EDP) the Club will try and keep enough of them together to hold the State Cup seed for next year. In Maryland, if you make State Cup semi-finals you are guaranteed of a top 4 seed following year as long as at least 60% of your roster returns from the previous year. That would mean at least 12 of our 19. Doubt Club will do that, but it may give them some pause. They are already over the moon that we knocked off Olney, so, maybe they will re-visit. Nothing is set in stone, but all indications are they are going to hew to USSF birth year wishes. This was the Club founded in part by Santino Quaranta (he's a really good guy by the way) and another local kid who played some in Brazil (Sean Rush) before starting this Club, and they have a soft spot for making sure they are are in line with USSF dictates. That said, some kids will be playing up as their abilities and development needs warrant. Question will be do they feel enough of the 2002s on my son's team warrant playing "up" for birth year teams or would they be deveopmentally better off with 2002s.
Again, if USSF hadn't dicated this, it's moot. Drives me nuts.
Nonlinear, quarters will be Sunday April 24, times not set yet, of course. Of the teams that made quarters, we probably have the friendliest draw, although the boys are already noting that we were expected to lose to Olney so they say they won't be looking past Salisbury (ranked 81st in state and not a lot of tournament history to look at).
ETA - also, in praise of the Club (Pipeline), Sant and Sean have from the jump pushed the girls side as hard as they have in developing the boys programs, and have done a great job seeding and developing both girls and boys teams in Baltimore. In Balt, the girls teams opportunities for high level Club play used to be limited, but they are not anymore. It's a good thing that's been started here, have been with them since my son was 9. It's been up and down at times, as all things are, but have been proud to see him learn soccer with this Club, whatever happens next (whether he chooses to keep playing or move on to other interests).Comment
