Host Family Program

From the Northwoods League’s inception in 1994, generous families and individuals have warmly offered their homes and provided welcoming food and lodging for student-athletes traveling from the far and wide. This has created an immediate “booster club” and a dedicated fan base within each Northwoods League community.

The Mallards are looking for generous, qualified families and individuals to get involved and serve as host families for our student-athletes in 2023.

Numerous lifetime relationships have been forged between NWL players and their Host Families over the years and we expect more to develop in each future season. Graduations, weddings and holidays have all been shared by host family members and NWL players. Children of host families have been fortunate enough to receive baseball tutelage and view NWL players as role models not available to most youth. Becoming a host family is a commitment, but it’s also one of the best opportunities and experiences we can offer for both our student-athletes and community members!

Build lasting relationships with the sports industry superstars of the future! Each host family, upon approval, will receive the offer of their choosing:

– Full Season Tickets (36 Games) for each member of household
