My son played for a NWL team 2 summers ago. Had a blast but it is a long season, especially if you've already played over 50 games during the college season. He lived with a wonderful host family that let him use their truck all summer. The team fed them after games but that gets old quick so we did send him money for extra food and gas. Host family treated him like one of their own. Great crowds at the games and fun for the players to participate in all the activities that go on around the games. Really competitive teams with lots of good players. Games were broadcast on-line and since we're west coasters it was nie to be able to listen to all the games.
Would highly recommend this league for any college bb player. The only expenses were airfare, some food and entertainment money, and we sent the host family several presents/ gift cards to show our appreciation. Son has stayed in touch with his host family.There are 2 divisions now so the bus rides aren't too long anymore.
