Billeting of Import Players

September 8, 2025

The term “family” has become synonymous with Carine Cats Baseball. Our values and strong sense of community means that, for many of us, the people that are the Carine Cats often become an extension of our own family.

Every year we welcome our international players (“imports”) to this Carine Cats family. A successful import program means many things to our Club. On the field it’s about adding depth to our State League team through their own contribution as well as being role models for our young home-grown talent. Off the field it’s about coaching our juniors, running holiday clinics and being visible and vibrant members of the Carine Cats.

Our imports will arrive in the coming weeks, and we are now reaching out to our extended Carine Cats family to assist with accommodation. Do you have a spare bedroom in your own home? A granny flat? A rental property? Are there any empty nesters in your own extended family? Is there someone in your street or your own social circle who might enjoy the experience of sharing their home over the summer with an international guest? Can you think of Carine members from “back in the day” who might see this as a good way to reconnect with baseball?

This is an amazing opportunity to welcome a player to Carine, become their home away from home, create long lasting friendships and share your love of baseball!

The Club recognises that hosting adds to household running costs and so will provide financial assistance. The terms of each hosting arrangement will be tailored to ensure that this an enriching experience for both the host and the import. Our imports are here from September/October until March, approximately six months. If you are only able to host for part of this time we would still love to hear from you.
