Become a Host Family for the Westshore Rebels!
The Westshore Rebels recruit talented players aged 17–22 from across Canada, the U.S., and overseas. Each season, we seek dedicated families to open their homes and hearts to our athletes from July 1 to December 1.
Billeting isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s a rewarding experience that often leads to lifelong connections. Many host families and players maintain strong bonds long after the football season ends. Billeting is especially beneficial for our younger, first- or second-year players as they adjust to living independently.
What Does a Full Host Family Provide?
- A private room
- Internet access and household amenities
- Nutritious meals
- A supportive, welcoming environment
Your role as a host family helps shape the personal, educational, and athletic journey of these young athletes, offering them guidance and stability as they chase their goals.
Player Responsibilities:
Our players are expected to be respectful, responsible tenants. They must:
- Follow the team’s code of conduct
- Respect all household rules
- Manage their own schedules for school, practices, games, and appointments
- Arrange their own transportation
Billeting Options & Compensation:
We offer flexible billeting options, including:
- Full-time billets
- Partial billets
- Room rental-only (no food supplied)
Host families receive $600–$850/month per player, depending on the arrangement, plus two regular-season Rebels tickets per player per game as a token of our appreciation.
