A Home Away From Home
At Warrior Fellowship Academy, we understand that many student-athletes travel from outside the Lynchburg area to be part of our program.
Our housing program provides these players with a safe, supportive home environment where they can live with families who share our commitment to faith, mentorship, and community.
What Is a Host Family?
A host family is located in Lynchburg, Virginia area who welcomes a student-athlete into their home during the school year.
These families provide:
- A safe and stable living environment
- Daily meals and household support
- Transportation assistance when needed
- Encouragement and accountability
- A Christ-centered family atmosphere
Host families play a meaningful role in the development of our players by providing mentorship, structure, and support throughout the year.
Families You Can Trust
Warrior Fellowship Academy takes the safety and well-being of our student-athletes seriously.
All host families go through a thorough screening process before participating in the program, which include:
- Background checks
- Interviews and home evaluations
- Program orientation and expectations
- SafeSport Training
- Ongoing communication with academy leadership
Our goal is to ensure that every player placed in a billet home experiences a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment.
What Players Can Expect
Players living with host families become part of the household during their time in Lynchburg.
Student-athletes are expected to contribute to the home environment by demonstrating:
- Respect and responsibility
- Participation in family life
- Good communication
- Commitment to academy standards
This experience helps players grow in independence, character, and maturity while learning how to live within a supportive community.
