For liability plus medical insurance, that sounds very reasonable.

Member dues?  Some teams have a lot of affiliate members who don't do
much more than pay annual dues and can attend the annual potluck party
and buy the team T-shirt etc.  Some teams get funding through United
Way or a grant giving foundation.  Some teams find commercial sponsors.

Some hold pancake breakfasts and rodeo play days and parking details
at local malls etc.  Those are relatively hard way of raising funds.
