Become A Host Family

Host families are the backbone of collegiate summer baseball, providing a safe place for the players, coaches, and interns to stay during our summer season. Host families provide a bed, a place to store their belongings, a small amount of space in the pantry/fridge to keep some food, access to restroom/shower facilities and to laundry facilities if available, for a player or two, depending on the space available.

The players will begin arriving the Tuesday following Memorial Day, depending on when their collegiate seasons ends. The summer season runs from end of May through the first of August.

Being a host family is rewarding in and of itself, and having these players staying with us in the community allows them to become integrated into the community more fully, and relationships built during our short summer season last a lifetime.

One of the key elements in the success of any collegiate summer baseball program is the willingness of local families to serve as Host Families. These families take the players into their homes for the summer, providing a safe and comfortable place for them to live and make it possible for us to have a local team. Collegiate summer baseball would not be possible without host families, and we appreciate those of you who have served as host families during past seasons.

Collegiate summer baseball provides college players the unique opportunity to participate in additional baseball games following the conclusion of their collegiate season, allowing them to work on their skills, and gain valuable experience on the field. In addition, collegiate summer baseball provides local towns and communities, such as ours, the unique opportunity to have great collegiate level baseball played here in our hometown.

Being a host family means providing a player with a comfortable place to sleep and store his or her belongings. The players are required to live under your house rules and be respectful of your home, your family and your family activities. Players are expected to provide their own transportation, to keep their room and belongings neat and orderly, and to make provisions for their own meals, health and personal care items, be courteous, helpful and pleasant to their host families, and to minimize the noise level of their activities at all times. A host family may wish to occasionally invite the player to join them for a meal, and that is appreciated but not expected. We ask our host families to provide a clean and pleasant environment, including a bedroom, for the player staying with them, along with reasonable use of bathroom and laundry facilities. 

We would love to have you join the team behind the team, our great host families. If you would like more information about becoming a host family, or are willing to serve as a host family for the upcoming season, please contact us.

Thank you in advance for considering becoming a host family.
