Players and their local families form a bond that doesn't end when the season comes to a
close.


If you love baseball and the idea of sharing your home with a possible future Professional Baseball Player, have we got an opportunity for you! The Herndon Braves summer collegiate baseball team is bringing talented players from all across the USA right here to the Herndon community! Help us bring a winning team to our area by volunteering to be a host family. Host families provide a safe and comfortable family environment. These young men will provide a positive influence in our community and in your home.

Players will begin arriving in late May/early June and will be playing baseball until late July. Host families typically provide meals for the player and give them access to a washer and dryer. Some families have hosted two baseball players and find it is sometimes easier than just hosting one.

Each host family will receive a free "Host Family Package" that includes -

• Host Family Recognition Night
• Autographed Team Photo
• Braves t-shirt for each family member
• FREE Registration to Herndon Braves Summer Camps
• FREE Golf Registration for one person at our Golf Classic

The following people opened up their homes last year to host a Herndon Braves player -
Larry Bartolotti
Dan Carney
Laura & Tom Hellstern
Lisa & John Lombardozzi
Carlyn & Frank Lynch
Cindy & Barry Mark
Patricia & Ivan Mills
Barb & Stuart Pierce
Maureen & Brian Schweppe
Amy & Chris Smith
Natalie & Larry Ward
Jennifer & Larry Wright
Sheri & Scott Zimmerman

The Herndon Braves could not exist without the support and assistance of the community - especially the generous families and individuals who have opened their homes and hearts to these young players.
