Be a Metro SoCo Braves 2023 Host Family!
We are looking for a few families to host Braves' players this summer!
Host Families play a vital role in our efforts to provide a safe and comfortable family environment for
our collegiate players. We are looking to house 25 college baseball players from around the country here in Northern Virginia.
Players will begin arriving in late May/early June and will be playing baseball until late July. We will play 36 total games with 18 at our home field, South County High School. Host families typically provide meals for the player and give them access to a washer and dryer. Some families have hosted two baseball players and find it is sometimes easier than just hosting one. The Metro SoCo Braves could not exist without the support and assistance of the community; in the past, it is common that players and their local families form a bond that lasts well after the season is over.
Each host family will receive a free Host Family Package; that includes
-
Host Family Recognition Night
-
Autographed Team Baseball
-
Metro SoCo Braves t-shirt
-
FREE Registration to Baseball Summer Day Camps we host
