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.

Our association does the little guy games twice a week, Tuesday/Wednesday and works two games a night. We return 50% of the fee by donating it back to fund lighting for their new field, and take the other 50% to help out with our awards dinner at the end of the year.

Get the parents together and start your own team. Ask around and see if there's anybody willing to coach the team and take it from there.

well i talked to the man!! and he has made himself a board without letting the parents know and it is with his close budys no one knew this it something they done to kill the wild fire as he called it and i invited him and his board to our wild fire meeting/ booster meeting and he will send someone but not him. and when i told him we wish to have early sighn ups so that more kids could play he said why how many kids do you want to play we will have to buy more stuff.
