The Uwharrie Wampus Cats are excited to launch our host family program!
Right now, we're seeking host families for our players for the summer of 2023. As a host family, you will provide a player a “home away from home.”
Host families receive up to four free season tickets per household and also gain an inside look at a high-quality summer wood bat baseball team.
This can be a great opportunity especially for parents of youth baseball or softball players as well as empty-nesters or retirees with a spare room. Hosting players is also a great way to feel connected to Albemarle and surrounding areas and to get involved in local sports.
Host families are only responsible for providing a guest room. Convenient access to refrigerator space and a washer and dryer are also a big plus for matching players to families. Players are responsible for their own transportation, phone calls, laundry, and dining.
The majority of our games start at 6:30 p.m. and most of our away games are within an hour and a half from Albemarle. While we won’t have too many late nights, host families should be comfortable with players coming home around 10 pm or a little later on game nights. Players report to our area in mid-to-late May and will usually be in town until early August.
For more information on becoming a host family, please contact team president Greg Sullivan at Sullivan.GL@gmail.com.
