Billeting Information

Billeting Information for Potential Host Families
Each season the Green Mountain Glades recruit talented players who live outside the local area. In order to take advantage of this hockey opportunity the players need host families who are willing to share their home and become their “home away from home”. Host families have been traditional 2 parent families, single parent families, and occasionally an “empty nester”.
The following information will provide potential host families an over view of the responsibilities/commitment of the host family and player(s):

Host family: Provide the player with their own room, or can share with another player if hosting 2 players. The room should have a bureau, closet space and a desk with a chair. The family also needs to provide meals to the player. When on the road the players are responsible for their own food. The time commitment will vary based on the individual player. Some players are still in High School and may stay until the end of the HS year, others will be here only for the length of the season. The players will return to their own homes over the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) as the teams have breaks during this time.

Player: The players’ provide their own bed and bath linens, personal care items, cell phones, TV/computer and provide for their own transportation. They must follow all team and house rules and show respect for other family members. They must take care of their room, including keeping it tidy and doing their own laundry.
Host families receive a monthly stipend during the time the player is billeting. This payment is received at the beginning of each month (or at a mutually agreed upon time) directly from the billeted player’s family.

Frequently asked Questions:
How long is the season?
Players usually arrive at the end of August or early September, depending if they have to get started in school. The season ends sometime in March, depending on playoffs.
I work full time and can not always have a meal prepared, is that a problem?
Host families are unique and most have their own families to balance. The most important thing is to have nutritious food available to the player and to discuss what works best for them in those situations.
What happens if I need to go away for a period of time?
Arrangements can be made with another host family, team mate or friend from school.

Filling out an application does not obligate you to anything, it just provides a chance to match player’s with potential families with similar interests and gives you a chance to meet the player and speak to their family. Being a host family is truly rewarding and the players and their families will thank you many times over!!
