Article  Little League Baseball Contest Supports Youth Sports Participation A little league baseball contest is currently supporting youth sports participation by giving away prizes that encourage families to attend away games by their own children’s sports teams.  The contest offers a grand prize that includes tickets and a trip for four to this year’s Little League World Series as well as $1,000 in spending money.  Several first prizes include gift cards for hotel stays and gasoline to be used by winners to follow their own youth sports teams to out of town games. It’s a great way to get your kids interested in sports if they don’t presently participate.  There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the Little League World Series, being held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania at the end of August to generate a child’s interest in baseball.  The sound of the crowds, the competition and teamwork, and the thrill of winning one of the most coveted trophies in youth sports will certainly have your kids yearning to join a local baseball team. If you have a child that’s already in Little League, this is your chance to let them see the top teams in the country.  If you win the Little League Baseball contest, you and a few family members will enjoy a five day vacation, including plenty of spending money for other activities in the area, including a nearby riverboat cruise and lots of local shops filled with locally made arts and crafts.  You can find nearby wineries where you can sample locally made wines and breweries that produce unique micro-beers.  If you enjoy the outdoors, there are hiking and biking paths, miles of wilderness to explore and water sports and the many small lakes that dot the area.  Winning the Little League baseball contest would give your family a vacation with something fun for everyone! Although the grand prize is impressive, the first prizes are terrific as well.  The Little League baseball contest is encouraging parents across the country to travel with their children’s sports teams to away games at no expense.  The first prizes each include hotel and gasoline gift cards as well as spending money for food and fun.  This year’s Quality Inn sweepstakes is sponsored Quality Inn, parent company Choice Hotels, which provides accommodations for the various teams that attend the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania every year.  They’re a family friendly hotel chain that actively supports youth sports of all kinds, particularly youth softball and baseball. Little League baseball is an important part of childhood for millions of kids every year, and the contest is meant to generate interest in the world series as both a vacation destination and a way to recognize outstanding youth athletes.  You don’t have to have a child who is playing in the World Series, or who participates in youth baseball, to enter the contest.  Anyone over the age of eighteen can enter and enjoy one of the most popular and well known youth sporting events, one that’s televised nationally. When you sign up for the Little League Baseball Contest, you can also join the hotel’s reward program in order to earn points toward discounts at hotels across the country, gift cards for major retailers, free meals, movie and theater tickets and more.  You may want to donate your points to organizations such as the American Red Cross instead of using them yourself if you’re feeling generous.  It’s up to you, and it doesn’t cost you anything at all. Once you sign up for the reward program, you can enter the Little League Baseball Contest.  If you’re lucky, you may be sitting in the stands cheering on your favorite Little League team this August!
