Q: What is the fund raiser "opt out"?

A: Many sports leagues are adopting a fundraising "opt out" option and NGSA is following this trend. With so many different fundraisers constantly being asked of us, sometimes the time and effort commitment is hard to achieve. This year you can pay the fundraising "opt out" fee ahead of time and not have the burden of attempting to fundraise.

Q: Where does my registration fees and fundraising fees go?

A: Operating a youth sports league is a costly endeavor that many may not realize? Our costs include equipment such as bats, helments, balls etc, field maintenance supplies, umpire pay, uniforms, trophies, insurance, utilities, trash and other operating expenses.
