I think it's time for some type of non-profit [lacrosse] (while not perfect) organization on the Island to help drive down the costs of soccer and open it up to the masses.
You are correct that for all of its own ills in the soccer world, the structure and planning brought to league (as opposed to tournament) play by [lacrosse] does in fact hold down costs in soccer as opposed to lacrosse.
That said, such control comes at the loss of flexibility in scheduling and, perhaps, a league too large for its own good has resulted.
US Lacrosse does not maintain the same structure down the youth ranks that one sees in the USYSA/USSF soccer worlds which makes it somewhat unique in terms of youth sports.
While you might think that [lacrosse] is a not-for-profit organization, our sister site, Back of THE NET, provides more than ample coverage of the bank accounts reportedly under the control of this not-for-profit.
