The $415 fee for 2009 reflects a moderate increase ($30) over last year's fee of $385. This increase was necessary given some of the higher costs:
- Two umpires for the 13 year olds vs. one for the 12 year olds
- A newly instituted Village charge for using the fields
- Less sponsorship donations as compared to last season
- Cost increases in general
- Uniforms
- Umpires
- Tournament fees
- Field space rental
- Indoor workout fees
The remaining $385 will be due (payable to "Orland Youth Association") by March 1st (as the tournament fees and indoor workout space will have been paid for by then).
