Player Host Family Information
ADOPT A PLAYER
Each year, more than 360 players from all across our great nation come to Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Canada to play baseball in the Northwoods League.
Most players will arrive in Brainerd sometime between Memorial Day and June 1st. The regular season starts June 1st and ends August 15th. However, the season can be extended if the team reaches the League playoffs. These young aspiring ball players continue to hone their baseball skills playing 68 games during their time in Brainerd.
Host families will provide a home, a bed, and at least one meal per day (usually a breakfast or lunch) during the baseball season. Also, you would provide the player with lots of moral support. The player becomes a member of your family while they are away from their own families.
Hosting a player can be a rewarding experience. Some of the benefits are listed here:
Ø Your family receives free season tickets – All games home and away
Ø Your family will attend special host family events
Ø You will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the future of a young man
Ø You might be getting to know a future Major League Baseball Star
Ø Lots of fun, and great memories
We will also need host families for our summer interns (college students male and female). If you are interested in becoming a host family for a player or intern during the summer, please contact Pam Marr at 218-828-2825 or e-mail at pam@brainerdbluethunder.com or return the attached application to P.O. Box 1028, Brainerd, MN 56401.
Thank you,Blue Thunder Baseball
