Not forgetting so much as trying to stop the people who complain that families are being "swindled". It doesn't matter if the player is in 2nd grade or 8th grade if all the expenses are the same.

$1,150 - $1,600 as you see with Jesters, 91, Outlaws, Express is not unfair.

Equipment is an area we as consumers should voice our opinion on. We don't need a new helmet every year. Gloves? Bag? I think the team looks more "professional" when the team is fully decked out like a college team.

After that - it's all about the coaching, IMHO.
