Its an interesting idea, but the challenge with that is that it assumes that people have the money upfront to get involved. Same with the sports participation tax thing. It reminds me of that Canadian Tire commercial i think it is, where the kid goes into a restaurant looking for a job. the guy at the counter dismisses him and says something along the lines of "what kid, aren't you too young to be working yet? Shouldn't you be out playing hockey?" And the kid answers "I'm trying to". Its a nice idea, but sometimes I wonder if it will help given how expensive things are to get involved in in the first place.
