Requires youth sports organizations to disclose all total annual costs for participation; deems certain youth sports organization contract provisions invalid; protects data privacy of youth sports organization participants; provides for liability, enforcement, and exemptions.

New York State Senate Bill S10428 aims to protect families involved in youth sports by requiring organizations to disclose all annual participation costs upfront, prohibiting certain unfair contract terms, banning mandatory travel and lodging arrangements, safeguarding participants' personal data, and holding major investors accountable for violations. The bill exempts public school programs and organizations with annual costs per participant of $750 or less.

Supporters of S10428 commend the bill for promoting transparency and fairness in youth sports. They highlight its potential to prevent hidden fees and exploitative contracts, ensuring families are fully informed about costs. The data privacy protections are also praised for safeguarding minors' personal information. Advocates believe these measures will create a more equitable environment in youth sports.

Critics of S10428 express concerns that the bill could impose additional regulatory burdens on youth sports organizations, potentially leading to increased operational costs. Some argue that the prohibition of certain contract terms and travel arrangements may limit organizational flexibility and could result in higher fees for participants. There are also worries that the liability provisions might deter investment in youth sports programs.
