MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - Have you ever wondered where the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers players stay while in town playing professional baseball? 

The answer is all the players and coaches stay with host families.

Host families are asked to provide housing for their assigned player(s) for the duration of their stay with the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers. Most players are here in mid-May through mid-September.

The players will spend half of the season on the road playing against other teams across California, Montana, Idaho and Colorado, so they will stay at host homes for half the summer. 

During that time span, host families are asked to provide players with a bed and access to bathroom facilities. Players will need access to the host family house, usually by key or garage door opener and many of them will have their own car, so a place to park might be necessary.  

For the five months that the players are in Yuba-Sutter, host families are providing more than just housing; they’re providing a home.  

When you become a host family, you will be adding a new member to your family, not just taking on a tenant.  If your family has children, these players can serve as positive role models.  These players are respectful of their environment, and nothing less will be tolerated by the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers organization. 

All these players come highly recommended by their coaches and their character expectations are clearly laid out for them before they sign a contract to play for the team.  Host families will receive two season tickets (per player that they house) for the season. 

Families are sure to love the excitement and entertainment of Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers Professional Baseball and the players enjoy seeing their adopted families in the stands supporting them. 

The longest lasting benefit of becoming a host family is the bond that will be forged between your family and the player who lives with you that can last a lifetime.  Players and their host families have been known to keep in contact long after their playing careers ended, remaining friends and sharing family milestones.
