The billeting experience must be for 2 nights, it is not feasible to organize 1 single night, and neither 3 nights, they will always be 2 nights per local Club or School. As it is a recommendable experience for both visitors and locals, it is NOT possible to assure visitors that these will be housed two or more for each local house. The number of local families that are available to accommodate each group is what will determine how many visiting players will be staying at home.When the visitors are hosted by a local family, it is the local family that has priority over the time they will spend sharing and enjoying the experience together. If a visiting team wants to organize a training session or some other activity while the players are staying in a family home, the availability of the players will depend on the families.Local families will only be obliged to take the visiting players to the field of sports on the day and time where the matches are played.
