If you love baseball and the idea of sharing your home with a professional baseball player, this is an opportunity for you!
Wichita Wingnuts Baseball is currently searching for Host Families for our 2010 season. Our players travel from all over the United States to spend a summer here in Wichita, Kansas. They are rising stars, falling stars, shooting stars and athletes with stars in their eyes .
A vital part of a successful season is to have host families provide housing for the players, giving them support and a family atmosphere for the summer. We work extremely hard, and take pride in providing our players with a safe, comfortable family environment. These young men will have a positive influence in our community and in your home. Many past Host Families have developed friendships with the players they have welcomed into their homes and have enjoyed watching their player progress in their careers. This is a great opportunity to receive an inside look at the trials and tribulations of a professional baseball player. The baseball season begins in May and ends early to mid September (depending on how far into the play-offs the team gets).
In addition to the rewards of forming a life-long relationship with your player, the Wingnuts would like to thank you with a very special Host Family Appreciation Package especially for our supporters of this program.
As a Host Family, here is what we ask of you:
You can expect your player to be a conscientious young man who will be a positive role model in your home and the community. He is expected to follow the rules in your house, contribute to your family’s routines, and share his gratitude for you generosity. It is not unusual for a player to become a mentor to your young ball player… sharing skills and building a friendship that could last a lifetime.
If you would like to learn more about becoming a host family for the 2010 season and being part of our Wingnuts family, or talk to some of our participants, please contact Terri Ashcroft, our Host Family Coordinator, at Home 316-522-0000, Cell 316-708-6026, info@wingnutsbbc.com or visit www.wingnutsbbc.com/hostfamily.html.
Wichita Wingnuts Baseball could not exist without the support and assistance of the community - especially the generous families and individuals who have opened their homes and hearts to these young players.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and creating some memories!
