Our players travel from all over the country to spend the summer here in the greater Ozarks area because of their potential to succeed as a professional baseball player. Our host families provide a safe and comfortable family environment so that players can hone their baseball skills, while getting the added benefit of experiencing southwest Missouri hospitality and the nuances of the Ozarks area.
As a host family, there are many rewards this opportunity can bring to your family, as well as providing a valuable service to your community. Positive interaction with a dynamic young adult, in-house role models for minors, and a valuable service to the local community are some of the main benefits from this experience.
Being a Show Me Collegiate League host family contains a certain amount of expectation. It is important to remember that you are being entrusted to provide acceptable housing for the player by both the organization and his family members. In addition, these players are young adults and would need a place in the house where they can go to rest, relax, be alone, or have a private phone conversation, etc. Furthermore, we expect and require all players to be respectful to their host family as well as the rules of the household. Each family should be considerate of their player and their grueling baseball schedule. The Show Me League staff and existing host families are always available for support and guidance.
To be considered for placement as a host family, please fill out this short HOST FAMILY APPLICATION and a member of the Show Me Collegiate League management team will be in touch.
