I'll make you a deal, I'll pay for all of your kids dances for the rest of his high school years if you cover a single year of my daughters travel ball.
My oldest plays travel softball and man is that shit expensive. Bats aren't quite $500 yet in softball (not sure about baseball) but they are $300-$350 for the latest which of course she must have every year. Two $100 pairs of cleats because some tournaments don't allow metal cleats, $150 glove, $125 bag, $75 sunglasses and who knows how much in other odds and ends. Then you have the team fees, hotel costs every other weakend during the main season and every 3rdish week the rest of the year with a 6ish week break around Xmas. Then you have all of the money you spend eating while you are out of town and food/drinks at the park, gas, plate fees if they aren't included in your yearly team fee, etc. Oh yeah, there is also the private pitching coach she goes to but considering all the other costs that is pennies.
