Could you explain how a "league" can fine a parent.
What law would that fall under?
Thanks,

Doesn't have to have any law.
Private organizations can establish their own rules ad regulations (bylaws, etc.) which may include fines if they wish. They may not have the authority to collect on the fine but can certainly bar the parent from games and/or prohibit their children from team participation if they refuse to pay.
I don't know whether this particular case has all the right things in place to support the fine, but it's not impossible.
