Just a short note to add that $40 per player does not go NEARLY as far as you seem to think it does. Say 15 players - that's 600 per team. Before you even subtract out uniforms, field usage, etc, you have $45 per game or so for that team's half of the referee fee - taking away about $450 of your $600.
Our youth league is very well run, with good facilities and good referees - it's $90 per player. Plus a fundraiser.
