The Diamond Dawgs Needing Host Families

Full Description:

The Diamond Dawgs are looking for generous families willing to open their homes to our players, as more than half of our players come from out of town to play right here in Winter Park.
The host family program is a vital part of every collegiate summer league team across the country, and we at the Florida League believe the quality of people who live in the Winter Park area will set our host family program apart from other college summer leagues.

Host families take a player into their home over the course of nine weeks during the season. Players arrive during the last week of May and generally stay through the second week of August, at the latest. As a host family, it would be your responsibility to provide your player with a stable, clean, and healthy environment with access to a washer, dryer and refrigerator. Additionally, because many of the players will be stretched financially during the summer, host families with the ability, means, and thoughtfulness to provide a few meals each week to their players would be particularly desirable. We truly appreciate your generosity and commitment to these young student-athletes.
