Would you like to be part of the Walter Johnson League Baseball Family?
 

We are not just baseball teams, but a community of families.  The community is what makes Walter Johnson League Baseball a family, not just a baseball team.  These teams exist  only through continued support of our communities, contributors, advertisers and the efforts of our volunteers. 

 

Volunteers are Needed for the Following: 

 

  

Host A Baseball Player!  Experience Memories that last a lifetime!

 

Do you love baseball?

Are you interested in having an impact on a young man’s life, possibly his professional career? 

 

 

If so, you may be perfect as a Host Parent/Family!

 

Each year many young men move to our league area for the summer to play for the Walter Johnson League.  From June through August these young, aspiring ballplayers hone their baseball skills by playing approximately 42 games, in 2 tournaments, and a chance to play in the NBC World Series.  Players come from all over the United States to participate in the Walter Johnson League teams across Kansas.

 

Historically, the Walter Johnson League "host family program" has become a vital part of the each team’s success both on and off the field.  Having the players become a part of a local family helps these young men secure a sense of normalcy in a strange new city & state.  Many of the player’s become more than a guest, they actually become part of the family!

 

Here’s the Pitch!

1. You provide a home, food and a bed for a player(s) during the baseball summer season.

2. Your family receives free admission to home games.

3. You will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the future of a young man.

4. You may be getting to know a future Major League Baseball player.

5. You will have Memories that last a lifetime.
