19. Fall/Spring Fees
Considering lower price, but new factors to consider this fall:
AYSO National will charge ~$15 per volunteer for annual background checks (planning for region to pay)
Season fee will not include insurance (this cost will be itemized separately on reg website and may (probably) go up to $18.25

20. Fall/Spring Fees
Need to do budget exercise before we can determine fees.
Still plan to make U5-U8 cost lower than U10 and up.
