I was on youth softball teams. The local ones, yeah, my teammates' parents were usually middle class like my folks and could cover the cost of playing (plus it was so much cheaper back then--the participation fees, if there were any, weren't as high). But I also (very briefly) played on an All-Star team where players came from local communities both well to do and not so well to do. I could see those teams needing help covering costs.
