I think the State is trying to get parents and players to recognize they have made a commitment to the team, the club adn also to the other parents on the team. After all, if a player drops off the team and you have not collected those team fees or club fees, the rest of the parents left must "pick up the $$ slack". Is it fair to these parents that have committed to pay their share, budgeted for their share and then be told they must pay more?
