Great post, but we actually have FEWER clubs now than we did in the 1990s. As an old Eagles alumni (who hasn't had any reason to revisit youth soccer since I played it), I'm surprised and a little dismayed by your description of the current landscape.

If my memory serves, Eagles folded up shop in the late 1990's. It was right around the time when I was switching from youth to mens soccer, so I'm guessing 1998 or 1999. I could be wrong though.
