T-Bird billets play an important role for the team. Billets house, feed, organize and provide structure for T-Birds players during the season. Erin Saunders talked to the Poplawski Family, who billeted former T-Bird Donovan Neuls, about how they became billets, what their responsibilities are and what it means to them to be a billet. Erin’s story shows how billets are an extended family for our players and the vital role they play for the team.
The Seattle Thunderbirds are always on the lookout for future billet famillies. T-Bird players attend Kentwood High School during the school year. The team practices at accesso ShoWare Center. The team keeps an eye out for billets in these neighborhoods.
