North Shore Navigators Seek Host Families For Summer Season
Families on the North Shore are asked to provide a "home away from home" for college baseball players from across the country.
LYNN, MA — North Shore families are being sought to host baseball players from around the country as they play for the Navigators of the New England Collegiate Baseball League team out of Lynn's Fraser Field this summer.
Every summer, local families generously provide "homes away from home" for Navigators players.
The hosting experience and housing arrangement is beneficial and rewarding for both the hospitable
families and the players, with many long-lasting relationships formed.

Without the support of the host family network, Navigators Baseball simply would not be possible.
The requirements are simple: a bed, laundry facilities, a parking spot (if needed) and help with meals. Players are fed before and after games.
