Are you looking for an introduction to sports business or baseball? We are looking for applicants for our fall internship program.
Who are we looking for?
The Blowfish are seeking college students who live in the Midlands of South Carolina or attend a local college or university. Interns are required to routinely travel to Lexington County Baseball Stadium. It is highly preferred that students are able to receive course credit from their college or university for the fall internship.
Who are we?
The Lexington County Blowfish are a summer collegiate baseball team, located in Lexington, South Carolina, and affiliated with the Coastal Plain League. The Blowfish are named after the best band of the 90s – Hootie & The Blowfish, of course. The Blowfish are famous for community engagement, all-you-can eat ticket plans and family-friendly fun at the ballpark.
What would you be doing this fall?
As an intern with the Blowfish, you will not be stuck in one area. Instead, we offer you the opportunity to gain valuable experience in every area that we offer with the organization.
One day you could be working in ticket sales, and the next day you might be assisting with an event at the ballpark. You'll also be covering the front desk when scheduled. Plus you'll have the opportunity to learn sponsorship sales, ticket sales, merchandise, marketing, food and beverage and stadium operations.
Our fall interns will gain experience in each of the following areas:
- Tickets (Box Office and Sales)
