What steps do I have to take to become a host family?
- The first step is to fill out the Homestay application, located above. Once the application is received and approved, we will do an introductory phone call. After that, we will conduct an in-house interview and tour of your house. If everything looks good, the final step is a background check for all residents 18 years and older. Once all steps have been completed, you will be placed on the “available” list to be matched with a player.
Can I have more details on the background check?
- As most of the participating players will be minors, it’s important MNUFC do a background check on all potential host families to confirm that players will be placed in a safe and healthy environment. MNUFC will initiate and pay for the background check. Once submitted, results are available within a week. As soon as MNUFC receives the results, they will follow up with the potential Homestay Family.
What are the potential ages of the player(s)?
- MNUFC recruits players between the ages of 14 to 18 years old to move to the Twin Cities and join the Academy or MNUFC2 teams. Most of these players are in high school and will need to attend school while living with their host family.
