Host Families Needed for Summer
We are in need of host families for the 2026 season! About 30% of our players come from out of the area each season.
The host family program is a vital part of every collegiate summer league across the country. Our Corn Belt league in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area is looking for generous families willing to open their homes to our players for the upcoming summer.
Host families take a player(s) into their home over the course of ten weeks during the season. Players arrive last week of May and generally stay through the last week of July. 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 Our Host Family Program
- The ideal numbers of players per host family is two, although one is great as well
- Players are in charge of their own transportation to and from the ballpark
- Players will need access to a washer, dryer and refrigerator
- Be aware that players return home from night games between 10pm-Midnight
- Keep in mind these will be college students between the ages of 18-22
Players are recruited to the Corn Belt League through their college baseball coaches, each agreeing to maintain impeccable moral standards while abiding by NCAA guidelines. If any player’s actions, on or off the field, are not congruent with these standards, we will ask them to pack their bags and return home. 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, many players and families form a bond that extends well beyond one summer of baseball in our community. We have had so many great stories of host families attending player's future weddings, vacation with player's families, etc. Each family is provided with complimentary season passes and you will also have the option of being compensated for your generosity.
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 to avoid potential problems, and that requires an application process. Before applying to our program please carefully consider the information provided in this letter. Then, if you are willing to proceed, please complete the on line form by clicking here.
We truly appreciate your generosity and commitment to these young student-athletes
Thank you so much!
