Housing Help

    One of the great traditions of the Glenn D. Loucks Games is the housing of athletes in the homes of families in the White Plains area. This fine gesture allows teams to cut their financial costs (not needing hotel rooms), allowing more athletes to compete in the games.

    Over the years we have been fortunate to have had a loyal following of families who have enjoyed the experience of housing out-of-state or upstate athletes in their homes. Some of these families have forged long-lasting relationships with their guests. Year after year some of the families have asked us to continue to house athletes from the same school. In fact many families have been host families for more than 2 decades.

    There are only a few  responsibilities for the housing families. The majority of the teams arrive Friday morning, requiring lodging of one night only (Friday). Host families  pick up their athletes and later transport them to the games. On Friday night there is a large meal served in the cafeteria, so cooking is not a responsibility of the host families.  Transportation to the meet on Saturday morning concludes the responsibilities, although many of the hosts come to the meet to cheer for their guests and others.

    There is no Thursday night housing offered.

    With our website, we are reaching more schools than ever, putting more of a demand upon our housing community. Over the last few years we have had fewer host families (thus, in 2002, for the first time, we had to curtail the practice of housing coaches).  We have reached the point of needing new families. Please help us. We have reached a desperate situation.
