Host Family
The Windy City ThunderBolts Host Family Program
The Windy City ThunderBolts are always on the lookout for local families, couples, and individuals who are willing to open their homes to host a ThunderBolts player (or players) for our full season. The Host Family Program is vital to the success of the team and offers players a home away from home during the season by matching them with local families. The responsibilities are minimal for the chance to build a bond with a ThunderBolts player that can last a lifetime!
Why Become a Host Family
As a host family, you receive multiple perks and privileges, but the greatest benefit of all is the chance to witness firsthand the excitement, exhilaration, and occasional heartaches that befall these young men as they live their lifelong dream of playing professional baseball.
