Parents whose children participate in elite travel ball leagues can spend up to $12,000 annually on fees, equipment, hotel rooms and gas.

According to the latest Aspen Institute survey, the average American family spends $ 883 per year for a single child to play one primary sport.

One mother, Casey Kelley , from Alabama , says that if parents spend all of that money and time, their children should get to play in games.
