We are thrilled to introduce the Lake Norman Harbor Hippos, a brand-new baseball team bringing excitement and energy to the Lake Norman area! As we prepare for our inaugural season in 2025, we are seeking dedicated host families to welcome our players into their homes and become an essential part of our team's journey.
Hosting a HarborHippos player is a unique and rewarding experience that goes beyond baseball. It’s an opportunity to support talented young athletes as they chase their dreams while building lasting friendships and creating cherished memories.
What Does It Mean to Be a Host Family?
As a host family, you’ll provide:
- A safe and welcoming home for one or more players during the season (typically late May through early August).
- A private bedroom and access to common household amenities.
- Meals or a place for the player to store and prepare their own food.
Players are expected to be respectful, independent, and responsible members of your household. They’ll spend most of their time at practices, games, or team events, so you’ll have plenty of personal space while still being part of their exciting journey.
Why Host a Harbor Hippos Player?
- Be Part of the Action: Connect with the team and experience the season in a unique, personal way.
- Support Young Athletes: Help these players grow and succeed both on and off the field.
- Build Lasting Relationships: Many host families stay in touch with their players for years to come!
Host Family Benefits
- Complimentary tickets to all home games so your family can cheer on your player.
- Recognition as an essential part of the Lake Norman HarborHippos family.
- Invitations to exclusive host family events and gatherings.
We hope you’ll consider opening your home to one of our players and becoming an integral part of the Lake Norman HarborHippos' inaugural season. Your generosity and support will help make 2025 a season to remember—for the players, the fans, and our community.
