LL international gets $7/kid from the local leagues. For each team you enter into the district tourney, you'll pay $100/team. The winner of the district tourney doesn't pay to play in the state tourney or the regional. All expenses are paid for the LLWS teams to travel/stay in Williamsport. I was the president of our local LL and coached a long time in our local program. We charged $45/kid, and that included the $7 that went to LL International. We played on our local park fields at no cost and ran our own concession stands which paid the umpires. $135 for a local "rec" team seems a little bit out of line, but I guess if the organization has field expenses to cover the additional cost may be justified
