Read the FIRST annual report and try to answer this.

Try find another high school sport with a league enrollment fee this high. I cannot.
Jim,
I am totally with you on this.
Reg pricing needs to be scaled down with the growth of FIRST. Its the responsible thing to do if the intent is to grow the no. of teams and sustain those that are currently participating. And of course, the district model is a step in the right direction.
The whole mentor burnout and build season are already tough enough to tackle as it is. And as I've read your previous posts, just because districts are cheaper, doesnt mean the work to put them on are less by any means.
Kudos to you all!
