A home away from home for a player, and a family support system

Because it is a great family experience! It is exciting to go out and support your “adopted summer son” and the rest of the team. The Mid America League is well-respected and it is a chance to see talented college players who may one day make it to the majors! It is a family atmosphere that is just a lot of fun for all!

Being a host family for the Shadowcats can be a really rewarding and unique experience. Here’s a breakdown of what it’s typically like:

The Basics:

You house a player (or sometimes two) for the duration of the season, usually late May through early August.

You provide a bedroom, access to laundry and some meals.  Many families have dinner together, but others may just stock the fridge and pantry.

Perks:

2 Free Season Tickets for each player housed. 

15% Discount on Merchandise and Concessions (Excluding Alcohol)

You become  part of the team’s extended family, invited to cookouts, game nights and other gatherings.

Players are very respectful and grateful – they are focused on baseball and often become role models for younger kids in the home.

Challenges:

Schedules can be hectic with games, travel and workouts.

There is usually an adjustment period – every player is different.

It’s a temporary relationship, so saying goodbye at the end of the season can be emotional.
