Sideline Reporter
The Falmouth Commodores is one of ten teams that comprise the Cape Cod Baseball League, the preeminent summer collegiate baseball league in the United States. Scouts from all major league teams attend games and many players are ultimately drafted to play in the MLB.
In 2021, the Commodores expanded its capacities, primarily in video production, and will be expanding further in 2022. To take our productions to the next level and be known as the premier CCBL media outlet, we are looking for the most highly-motivated, team-oriented summer interns to fill our vacancies. If you are someone who is attracted to the broadcasting and media arts, and who thrives in an environment where collaboration, creativity, and teamwork are strongly encouraged, this may be the opportunity you are looking for.
All intern positions are non-paying, and prospective interns must arrange for their own housing and transportation while on Cape Cod. The Commodores staff will assist where possible in helping interns find affordable lodging and part-time employment.
