So, you are thinking about becoming or you have agreed to be a billet parent. It may be that your town or city has decided to host a new Tier I, II or III hockey team, or a new collegiate summer league baseball team, or other elite amateur sports team. Or maybe after years of enjoying watching the young athletes play in your town, you'd like to give back in some way to the team. Or maybe you yourself were once a young athlete traveling from home to play the sport you loved and hoping for a NCAA Division I college opportunity or even maybe going pro. Or maybe you've heard that billet parents receive money monthly while housing these young athletes and you could use the extra cash. Whatever your motivation, welcome to a wonderful, fulfilling, and at times, frustrating experience.
