A big issue is that we are not a rec. league. Recreation Leagues have the added benefit of being a city department and can get the gyms for free.

Says who? Our local rec league has been around for 25 years and is totally independent. We have an elected Board of Directors from the community and have to pay the school district for gym rental for both games and practices.
We run the league for 3rd thru 12th grade boys and girls, have both a recreational division and a competitive division (grades 5-8). Parents pay a flat fee for the rec division and a sliding fee for the competitive division depending on how many tournaments they choose to enter in addition to their regular league games.
We pay the refs decently, carry insurance and provide each rec player with a reversable jersey and each competitive player with a full uniform.
We also pay an accountant to do the books and checks, have a voice mail line (503.684.HOOP) and a website http://www.tibba.us
As our neighbor a few miles to the north likes to say it - "Just Do It".

WOW is this a Rec. League that is part of the City or Towns Recreation Department or an idependant rec. league? There is a difference. In my experiances the city or town department usually doesn't have to pay the fees (at least in the towns that I've helped out). The refs always have to be paid. How much do you charge for your leagues? We charge $55 for the league and at the end we make $0 every year.
