Host Families.
Our 501(C)(3) status, along with the NCAA rules forbidding paid living expenses for college level athletes requires us to rely on Host Families to house players.
Q: What is a host family?
A: According to NCAA rules, college baseball players cannot be paid for living expenses or other costs. It requires summer leagues such as the Textile League to use host families to house their players. Host families play a critical role in the success and in the lives of these athletes.
With college seasons coming to an end, players are looking for a place to continue mastering their skills on the field as well as have a great time off of the field. What better place to do that than Boone, North Carolina? The Boone Bigfoots are looking to give this opportunity to many talented players. In doing so we need your help!
Q: Who are host families?
A: We are looking for baseball fans who are Boone residents, especially families with children of all ages. These young men are expected to be kind, respectful, and will serve as great role models for your children. These player(s) become part of your family for the summer, and typically have a great lifelong relationship with your family because of this special experience.
