Become a Host Family for the TimberHogs!

The Piney Woods TimberHogs are looking for welcoming host families in the Longview, White Oak, Gladewater, and Kilgore and surrounding areas to provide a home away from home for our players during the summer season. Hosting a player is a unique and rewarding experience that connects you with the team, the community, and the game in a meaningful way!

Why Host a TimberHog?

• Be Part of the Team – Host families become an extension of the TimberHogs family and play a vital role in our players’ success.

• Stronger Community Connections – Meet other host families, team staff, and fans while being part of something special.

• Another Role Model – If you have children, bringing a college athlete into your home gives your kids a chance to bond with a positive role model who can inspire hard work, teamwork, and big dreams.

• Exclusive Perks for Host Families:

  • Season Tickets & VIP Access – Enjoy complimentary season tickets and special perks as a thank-you for your support.

  • Free group outing tickets for up to 10 people as a special thank-you.

  • Host Family Appreciation Night with a tailgate and other fun activities.

  • Signed team baseball as a keepsake.

• Behind-the-Scenes Experience – Get an inside look at the daily life of a college baseball player. Some of the next MLB stars will be playing in collegiate summer leagues this summer—who knows, maybe a future big leaguer will be staying in your home.

• Lifelong Bonds – Many host families build lasting friendships with their players that go well beyond the summer. Players often become part of the family, forming connections with kids and serving as role models both on and off the field.

• Recognition & Appreciation – We celebrate our host families with special events, on-field recognition, and social media shoutouts.

• Impact a Player’s Future – Your support helps these athletes chase their dreams while representing our community.

• A Fun & Memorable Summer – Experience the excitement of TimberHogs baseball in a whole new way.

What’s Required?

• Time Commitment: Approximately May 15 – August 15 (varies based on schedule and playoffs).

• Housing: A clean bedroom with access to a bathroom and laundry (meals and additional amenities are optional but very appreciated).

• Transportation: If a player doesn’t have a car, we’ll do our best to place them near a teammate who does.

• Location Requirement: Must live within about 30 minutes of the ballpark:
  501 E Cottonwood Dr, White Oak, TX 75693
