Honeycrisps seeking host homes for ballplayers

By Lightning Reports, Published: April 23, 2025

As the Hendersonville Honeycrisps prepare for the upcoming 2025 season, the organization is actively seeking local host families to accommodate players traveling from out of state.

With a growing roster and increased participation from athletes across the country, the need for host housing has significantly expanded. The Honeycrisps are turning to the Hendersonville community to help meet this need by opening their homes to players throughout the 10-week summer season.
Hosting a Honeycrisps player offers a unique and rewarding opportunity to support young athletes during their time in Hendersonville. Beyond providing a room, host families offer guidance, encouragement and a home-away-from-home that greatly enhances the players’ summer baseball experience.
“Hosting a player is more than just offering a place to stay—it’s a chance to build lasting relationships and become an integral part of a young athlete’s journey, ” said Nate Stocum, head coach of the Hendersonville Honeycrisps. “Our players thrive when they feel supported by the community, and host families play a crucial role in that experience.”
Each host family is asked to provide a private bedroom and access to shower and laundry facilities. In appreciation for their generosity, host families will receive season tickets for the entire household, exclusive invitations to team functions and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the life of a student-athlete.
