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.
