    2019 2018 Morehead City Marlins Baseball Club- Summer Internship Information 2021 SEASON (Summer) College Summer Baseball Overview The Marlins are currently seeking enthusiastic internship candidates for the 2021 season. The Morehead City Marlins are a member of the Coastal Plain League, a summer college wood-bat baseball league with teams in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. In 2021, the team will play a 50 game schedule from late May through early August (excluding playoffs), with at least 26 home games (excluding exhibitions) at Big Rock Stadium. The Marlins employ a small full-time staff led by the General Manager. Interns will thus perform integral duties over the course of the season, assisting in all areas of operation. The Marlins are looking for current undergraduates or graduate students in sport management, or related fields, that are serious about a career in professional or amateur team sports. If you are a successful candidate, you will get the opportunity to gain practical experience in multiple areas of team operations, including sales, marketing, promotions, stadium operations, ticketing, merchandising, media and public relations, and management. You will be working with Buddy Bengel, the owner of the Marlins, a veteran of the Coastal Plain League, and an important member of the Morehead City community. What does this mean to a potential intern? It means that Marlins management understands what skills and experience are needed to succeed in this business. You will be challenged with a variety of responsibilities designed not only to ensure the success of the Marlins in 2021, but also to impress hiring officials with teams, leagues, and organizations in the future.

We will continue to assess the situation and communicate with our fans, players and staff regarding ticketing policies and procedures, important safety measures and accessing Ting Stadium. The goal is to maintain as many games as possible. Questions about ticket exchanges: Single Tickets Single game tickets have not gone on sale to the general public as of April 29, but we will be releasing purchasing information in the coming weeks once the schedule has been announced and confirmed. Group Tickets If you have purchased a group package to any of our May or June games, a Holly Springs Salamanders Ticket Representative will be contacting you about exchanging your group to a later date in our season. Season Tickets and Mini-plan Holders If you are a Season Ticket or Mini-Plan Holder, a Holly Springs Salamanders Ticket Representative will be in touch to discuss how your tickets will be impacted.

  • 2020 Summer Intern Opportunities
    2020 Summer Intern Opportunities The Asheboro Copperheads are members of the Coastal Plain League, a 15-team summer collegiate wooden bat baseball league sanctioned by both the NCAA and Major League Baseball, headquartered in the Raleigh, NC area, with teams located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. The league plays a 52-game regular season schedule with play beginning in late May and culminating with the league playoffs, which normally conclude in early August. The CPL has been in operation since 1997 and the Copperheads have been a member of the league since 1999. While the CPL is an amateur league, teams are operated under the National Association (Minor League) model used by MLB-affiliated and independent professional minor league teams. The Copperheads offer unpaid student internships during the season to college students.Through their respective schools and in conjunction with the Copperheads, students may receive academic credit for their internship duty. While students are not paid, housing will be arranged if needed at NO COST through the team’s host family program. Internships begin in mid- May, or as the student is available following the end of the school term, and run through early to mid-August depending upon the team’s participation in CPL post-season play. Interns may be asked to remain available for a couple of days following completion of play to assist with season-ending tasks if it does not interfere with the student’s return to school. Internship duties may include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Sales, Marketing & Merchandising - Stadium & Team Operations - Community & Media Relations (Print & Broadcast) Interns will be required to work a varied schedule and must be available for all home games (weekdays and weekends).
