With thousands of youth sports events taking place every day across the country, it’s not uncommon for families to have several youth sports activities scheduled in a single day, not to mention the many families who even travel across state lines and overnight for all-star or traveling sports teams. But this summer, why not let Quality hotels take care of the travel accommodations for you, so you can just enjoy the game.

Quality brand hotels are offering families a chance to win the ultimate youth sports travel getaway, including a trip to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Penn., August 27 – 31, 2009. Guests can enter online now through June 25, 2009, at: www.choicehotels.com/youthsports.*
