Summer Catch: Host Families Sought For North Shore Navigators Players

LYNN, MA — North Shore families are being sought to act as host families for players on the North Shore Navigators collegiate summer baseball team this upcoming season.

Players come from all over the country to play for the New England Collegiate Baseball League team in Lynn with host families used to defray the cost of their stay.

Host families must be able to provide a bed, laundry, a parking spot for players who have a car and some help with meals. Players are provided with food before and after games.

Each host family will receive a stipend based on the number of players they host, a season ticket for each family member, as well as a special Navs gift package.

Players arrive shortly before the season begins at the start of June and will remain on the North Shore until early to mid August.

To express interest in becoming a host family or for more information, please email Derek January at dj@nsnavs.com.
