Reply to "College Summer Leagues-The Times They Are a Changing"

Host families: Host families in our league are not paid. They provide a place for players to sleep, do laundry, and fix food. As a practical matter, most of our host families stock up on food and keep the guys fed, include players in family meals where possible, and turn into their players' biggest fans. A lot of our host families travel to our away games as the distances aren't too bad.   We encourage our host moms do launder the uniforms as many players just aren't too good at that.  We are well-pleased with our host families and could not operate without their support. Some teams in some leagues board players in hotels. Besides being very expensive, I think this takes away from the support that a host family can provide.  The player-host family connections often last for many years beyond the time when a player is here.
