Be A Rockville Express Host Family This Summer!
It’s that time of year again! Our own local Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate League baseball team, the >Rockville Express, is seeking host families to house players for the season. I have friends who have done it and they say it is a terrific opportunity!
Here are the details:
Love Baseball? Have Kids who play Little League? Like the idea of sharing your home with a possible Major Leaguer?
The Rockville Express Baseball team is currently searching for host families for the 2010 Season. A vital part of a successful season is to have host families provide housing for the players, giving them support and a family atmosphere for the summer. When you host a player, you are not just taking on a guest for the summer, your family will be embarking on an experience that will make you a part of an extended baseball family.
Host Family Responsibilities:
Be available to host a player from June 1st – July 31st – Provide a clean, safe, and pleasant environment for the player to stay – Provide a private room or private area for the player to sleep – Provide food and/or meals for the player – Provide access to laundry equipment (players do their own laundry) – Players provide their own transportation
Host Family Benefits:
Free admittance to all home games – You will become more involved with the community – The player will be a positive role model for your children – You have an opportunity to make a positive impact on a young man’s future – You might be getting to know a future Major League star!
If you are interested in hosting a player, or would like more information, please contact Tina Campbell at 301-315-9008 or by email at tinacampbell-at-comcast-dot-net.

I may be interested in hosting someone. I don’t have any family nearby. No children live in my home. I am a middle aged Rockville resident who loves sports. I have coordinated housing for the Sister City baseball group of men who visited Rockville in the summer of 2005. If I decide to do this, I can host only for the month of June. I cannot commit to July because of other responsibilities.
