A host family is one of the most important and influential aspects of a ballplayer’s summer collegiate league baseball experience. While some of our players will be from the New York area, many will be in a brand new environment, away from their school and home.
Hamptons Collegiate Baseball strongly believes the relationships forged between players and their host families will be memorable and last a lifetime. There is no other way to get this close to the team and the game.
Players arrive in mid June and stay until the last week in July. They play baseball six days a week on the South and Northout daily at local gyms. Players are encouraged to work part-time jobs and participate in their local community.
Each player is a member in good standing with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), meeting all academic, athletic, and legal eligibility requirements.
Host families are required to supply a player with a room, bed, laundry and meals. They are not required to provide transportation.
