Reply to "Summer league host families"

Amen HokieOne.   We have never done summer league but we did a minor league player one year.  We gave him a room, and my wife laid out expectations.  Told him she would cook him breakfast in the morning but had to know the night before if he wanted it and when.  Had food  in the refrigerator for him for lunch that he told her he liked.  We laid out our expectations and asked him a lot of questions.  Wife also contacted his mother almost every other day to keep her in the loop. 

He only stayed 3 weeks.  Came up for breakfast one morning and told my wife he was leaving.  He wanted to go home to his girlfriend, he was homesick.  We tried our best to talk him out of it.  He hadn't told his mama.  We gave him money for gas since he did not have enough to get himself home.  Sad.  2 bad outings and a girlfriend cost him his dream.
