I played in most of the city soccer leagues and little league when I was young. Demographics were almost all-white, despite there being a sizeable minority population in College Station.
Taking the family to a nice restaurant is a luxury that many people can't afford. Putting your kid in a basketball league is the same for many.

Sure. And if you lived in Haiti, then $20 would probably be beyond your rich. Or if you lived in Western China, $6 would be a deal-breaker.
But to characterize our league as a rich-kid league is funny. Feel free to call it a "middle-class" league if that makes you feel better.
Many of the local soccer and volleyball elite teams charge $700 per kid. Our b-ball league (and my assistant and I) goes the extra mile to keep costs down.
