Each summer, the Copper Kings Baseball Club asks your family to open up your house and allow a player to stay with you throughout the season. This is an opportunity to be a part of making a collegiate athlete's summer in Bisbee a great one.
The host families are not responsible for feeding the players, providing transportation for the players or any finances. We only ask that you provide them their own sleeping quarters such as an extra bedroom, den or even a guest house. The players are required to live under your rules and to be a responsible member of the household including picking up after themselves.
The host family program has been such a success over the past few years that many families not only develop great friendships with the players, but their families as well. These collegiate All-Stars are not only great role models for young kids, but provide additional company for families without children too.
Host families are needed for the Bisbee Copper Kings, as the roster is being finalized for the 2010 season. We are actively trying to place our players in homes that will that will help us develop these athletes not only into top baseball players, but quality individuals.
The host family schedule will be from later May to early August. Most of their days throughout the summer are spent working out, practicing and playing in games.
If being a host family interests you and your family, the Bisbee Copper Kings would love to hear from you. Who knows, you could be the summer family of a future major leaguer. For more information or to become a host family, please contact Tom Mosier at (520) 732-7325 or send us an email.
