What does this mean to a potential intern? It means that Blue Sox management understands what skills and experience that 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 Blue Sox in 2026, but also to impress hiring officials with teams, leagues and organizations in the future. Even if you're not necessarily looking to pursue a career in the sports industry our interns successfully transition into other careers in their related fields. It also assures you, upon successful completion of your internship, with experienced mentors who can assist you with the advancement of your career.
This will not be your typical internship. The Blue Sox organization is committed to making our interns an integral and equal part of our operation. Considering our small staff, you will be relied upon to provide insight and to make decisions regarding all aspects of the operation. Your opinion will be solicited and your ideas will be welcomed. You will oversee a special area of responsibility that will permit you some autonomy in its operation, with guidance and support from the General Manager and Team President.
During the time you are an intern with the Valley Blue Sox you will experience first-hand all aspects of the operation of a baseball team. The practices of our organization closely resemble those of all minor league teams, and, on a smaller scale, most major league and intercollegiate sports organizations. The skills you will acquire will be easily transferable to any sports field in which you desire to work.
