Soccer….Family Style

Last night, AO announced its 100th chapter at the night before party in Kansas City.  It took a moment for me to let that sink in. 12000 members in 100 chapters. When I started AO Des Moines in 2008, I didn’t expect it to be much more than the members of our family. I thought I knew everyone who cared about soccer in my city. I was shocked when we became chapter 38 in 2010. Even more stunned when I got our list recently and discovered we had over 120 members.  After the boom we experienced during the last World Cup, makes me wonder, how many chapters and members we’ll be looking at a year from now. For now, congrats all you Outlaws, and happy last home qualifier.
