In April 1993, Lipp turned professional with the Colorado Foxes of the American Professional Soccer League.[6][7] He played for the Foxes through the 1996 season, but broke his right leg in a June 1996 game with the Seattle Sounders.[8] Lipp was also drafted by the St. Louis Ambush in the 1993 National Professional Soccer League draft. The Ambush traded his rights to the Wichita Wings, but a hamstring injury suffered during the Foxes season led to the Wings not signing Lipp.[9]

He also played for the Colorado Comets of the USISL.
