BECOME A IDAHO HORSEMEN HOST FAMILY!!
Becoming an Idaho Horsemen Rising Stars Host Family is a very important service provided by the community whereby players are “adopted” for the season, during their stay in Idaho, at no cost to the player.
Although we are a professional football team, the team runs on a limited budget and is a platform to provide an opportunity for these athletes to continue their football career after exhausting their college eligibility. Our football program was created to help these players reach the next level. NFL/CFL Scouts follow teams, like ours, to find those diamonds in the rough, to invite into their camps.
All players are on a minimum salary, so Host Families help ease this burden by becoming a player’s home away from home during his stay in Idaho. The players are in Idaho for a 12 game season, a pre-season training camp, and an end of season playoff.
How cool would it be to attend a professional game when you can cheer on a player you know personally? It is a great opportunity to watch a young man strive for an opportunity to be invited to a NFL/CFL camp. When one of our players receives this opportunity, you will have the documentation (pictures) to say, I know that guy, he lived with me! It is, also, the beginning of a long - term friendship between the player and his Host Family.
All players arrive in Idaho mid to late February with the first game around the 3rd week of March. The Idaho Horsemen's regular season lasts until June, finishing up with the playoffs in July.
Each Host Family will receive season tickets & additional benefits for supporting our players, and potentially, the next future NFL Star!
