Association Registration
2025 YLM Association Membership Fees
$500 per association. Covers YLM overhead and administrative costs, including website, webmaster, scheduling. A $300 year-end refund will be available to each association that timely fulfills its responsibility to post team coaches' contact information on all teams' YLM team pages; register and train coaches as required by YLM; and post team rosters to YLM team pages by published deadlines. Associations must request their refunds after the season and certify compliance. YLM reserves the right to verify compliance.
