Holy crap. If you’re being serious, then you are embarrassing yourself. If you spend that kind of money for your kid(s) to play a game…yikes. I know you think it comes across as “look at how much I can spend on this!” But anyone with a brain sees it as “look at how retarded I am with money!”

It’s not bragging at all. It’s real world talk of expenses of some of these things and once you start adding a World Series week stay, you add 8-10 weekend or longer weekend tournament stays at hotels, haven’t even thought of gas costs if travel, volleyball dues are expensive, either sport you’re talking $300-$500 bats, it’s just a revolving door of various expenses. But this is our life for a few years, it’s what we enjoy and all this becomes our vacations and leisure time.

I’m on the oh shite side of spending for a child’s sport. Sometimes that’s the thing you have to do.

This

And glad it’s you they are jumping on, not me

Btw for those in south la, travel ball can be cheap or it can be expensive, up to you but there are tournaments every weekend in the spring from Houston to Nola, Beaumont, LC, laffy, BR so you do not really have to travel.

Don’t let the national scene make you think it all cost that much

Oh and sports participation is down big time across the board since covid with rare exceptions
