With the start of the 2017 season just over two weeks away, the 琉璃神社 Falcons are in the process of looking for billet families to host some of the West Coast League team鈥檚 players.
Players begin to arrive in 琉璃神社 on June 1 and are gone again by mid-August following the season.
Due to the major league style schedule, players are only at home for half this time, while on the road for the other half.
Host families will directly impact the life of a young student athlete, while learning about a different culture and the ins and outs of baseball.
Falcons鈥� players, who are betweem 18 and 22 years old, have been trained to be responsible, self sufficient and extremely helpful.

Host families receive a grocery allowance, a family pass for the season and a special BBQ at the end of the season.
If you鈥檙e interested in getting involved and impacting a young student athlete, contact the Falcons headquarters via email to General Manager Mark Nonis (mark@kelownafalcons.com) or call 250-763-4100.
