(New Britain, Conn., Jan. 18, 2018) – The New Britain Bees are currently seeking community members that are interested in becoming host families for a Bees player during the 2018 baseball season. Hosting a player has many benefits to a family. It is a valuable way to provide a player with a home while keeping them involved in the community and also gives you the opportunity to be involved with the Bees on a personal level. For many families, hosting a player has made a special impact on their lives as well as their “adopted” family member.

“Becoming a host family is a great way for fans to connect with the Bees,” says Bees General Manager Brad Smith. “It also allows the members of the team to truly be immersed in the city they represent and play for with a comfortable place to call home for the season.”

The requirements for becoming a host family include the ability to provide a private bedroom and access to a bathroom, kitchen and washer/dryer. If you wish to include any other amenities for your host player, it is greatly appreciated by the player.
