Welcome to the LYSL finance page. This page was created to help explain the financial processes and policies of the league and to answer commonly asked questions.

There are typically many questions regarding league and team finances, even in a non-profit organization such as LYSL. Some of the more frequently asked questions should be answered on this page. If not, please let us know. We are here to help.

Below are explanations of league fee structures, financial aid options, refund and reimbursement requests, fundraising, and donations which should address most questions on these areas. A new webpage for Team Treasurers has also been created.

There are three basic types of fees the league charges its players depending on the program in which they participate. Every player must pay the league Registration Fee. Players in the Premier Program pay an additional program fee. Players in the Rec-Plus program pay an additional Rec-Plus program fee.  These fees are described below. Keep in mind that the specific amount of these fees is subject to change each year based on estimated costs during the budget process at the beginning of the fiscal year. The league does attempt to keep the cost to the members low, while maintaining enough available funds to provide sufficient resources to teams to play and enjoy the games.

• Registration Fees are charged to all players in all playing programs upon registration into the league. The amount is typically determined during the league's budget process before the next year's open registration. The fees are based on the cost history of the league's program and admininstration expenses of previous years and a projection of the expenses for the upcoming year. If you are not participating in the High Comp or Rec-Plus programs, this is the total fee collected for the season.

• Premier Program Fees are paid by member families for each player that accepts a position on an LYSL Premier team. This fee covers some of the expenses related to professional coaching and training, dedicated field space for training, league play, cup play, tournaments and other programs.

• Rec-Plus Fees are paid by member families for each player that accepts a position on an LYSL Rec-Plus team. This fee covers the extra expenses that the Rec-Plus program incurs, including paid training and tournament entry fees.
