Sure, parents are paying for their child to be a part of a program, but so are the parents of the other 19 or 35 kids on the team who will be left behind when one kid decides they want to leave. Your decision doesn't only effect you in this sport. You're potentially screwing over and costing a bunch of other families money because you can't honor your commitment.
that's the nature of the business, it sucks but teams have to go through adversities every year with finding fill ins and alternates. teams either band together and get the job done, or crumble... that's the risk at any team sport. i know i would personally hate cheering with someone who openly did not want to be a part of my team. i'm not sure what kind of businesses are being run, but in every gym that i have been a part of my family was still obligated to pay any fees that i was committed to.
