BECOME A HOST FAMILY

Make the summer even more memorable by hosting a River Monster! 

​

The host family program is a vital part of every collegiate summer league team across the country. The Texas Collegiate League is looking for generous families willing to open their homes to our players for the summer. 

Host families take a player(s) into their home over the course of ten weeks during the season. Players arrive at the end of May and generally stay through the first week of August (at the latest, depending on playoffs). As a host family, it would be your responsibility to provide your player with a stable, clean, and healthy environment for the duration of the summer. Because many of the players will be stretched financially during the summer, host families with the ability, means, and thoughtfulness to provide a few meals each week to their players would be particularly desirable.

About the Host Family program:
    The ideal numbers of players per host family is two, although one is great as well.
   Players arrange their own transportation to and from the ballpark.
    Private bedroom. (Two players to a room is fine) 
   Players need access to a washer, dryer, bathroom, refrigerator  & wifi. 
   Be aware that players return home from games between 11:00 pm- midnight and away games early morning. 
   Keep in mind these will be college students between the ages of 18-22.
Each player in the Texas League is pursuing his dream of playing in Major League Baseball. Players are recruited through their college baseball coaches, and all of them have agreed to maintain impeccable moral standards, abide by NCAA guidelines, and be a role model to our fans. 
We believe that living in a family’s home is a privilege the players should respect and appreciate.
The benefits to committing to the host family program are significant. First and foremost, you would be assisting young men in their pursuit of their dreams ... playing professional baseball. Many players and families form a bond that extends well beyond one summer of baseball in Texas. As a host family, you will become part of the River Monster family”. Each host is provided with complimentary season passes, so they may go to our home games to see their boys play. 
Becoming a host family for the summer is a big responsibility. Therefore, we will make our players and our host families as compatible as possible and that requires an application process.
