Skeeters Launch Host Family Program
The Sugar Land Skeeters are currently seeking community members that are interested in becoming a host family for a Skeeters player during the Inaugural 2012 baseball season.
“Our host family program is extremely important to the entire baseball operation,” said Michael Kirk, Director of Baseball Operations. “By hosting a player, you give that player, who is otherwise many miles away from their home environment and loved ones, a sense of home during the course of a long season.”
Hosting a player gives fans the rare opportunity to get involved with the Sugar Land Skeeters on a personal level, as one of the players will be an “adopted member of the family” during his time here in Sugar Land. All that is required to be a host family is a private bedroom and use of a bathroom, washer/dryer and kitchen for a Skeeters player. Any other amenities provided will be greatly appreciated by the player.
“Many players have become like an extended member of our family,” said Linda Davidson, a Host Family member of the York Revolution. “We have stayed in touch with many of the players. Year in and year out, hosting a player in the Atlantic League has been a positive experience for everyone involved.”
For information about the Sugar Land Skeeters Host Family Program, please contact Michael Kirk at 281.240.4565. Interested families can also send an email to [email protected].
