Thank you for your interest in an internship with the ­­­­­­­­­­­Marion Baseball Team. It is our goal to provide you with hands-on experience and knowledge useful in competing for jobs in the sports industry, beginning with Summer Collegiate Baseball.  We will also work with you to fulfill requirements for college credit if necessary.  Our internships are a great learning opportunity where previous experience is not always necessary. 

 

As a Production Intern, you will work hand-in-hand with our Director of Production in creating a unique fan atmosphere through the use of our Videoboard, Soundboard, and Prospect League TV (PLTV). Skills preferred, but not all required are Graphic Design, Photo/Video Editing, Technical Directing, Replay Operations, and Camera Operations and setup.

 

­­­­­Full-Time Production interns receive a TBD salary for the summer and are expected to maintain a very challenging schedule throughout the internship. Interns are expected to be at all home games as well as play key roles in executing special events taking place at Rent One Park.  Days off are granted throughout the season to help alleviate the challenging schedule. 

 

If a career in sports is what you desire, an internship with a sports team can be a great benefit.  Not only is it an important step professionally, but it’s also a great way to build relationships and network in a fun, fast paced and exciting environment.  Our hope for our inters is that they use their experience with the Marion Baseball Team to go on to bigger and better things internally, with another team or in a desired field of interest.
