Then they start talking about making it mandatory that for every youth team, each kid gets a mandatory 6$ insurance charge..even when the Family is already covered by the Parents insurance, and on top of that many County programs cover the participant there also.

May I also point out that state and metros also pay a hefty membership fee to their region and national associations. Soon to come will probably be an additional fee to a "territory council".
