The New England Recruiting Report is offering a Fall Semester Basketball Operations Internship for students seeking meaningful, hands-on experience in the industry. This is an immersive opportunity to work directly within one of the most established grassroots basketball platforms in New England and the greater Northeast since 2006, gaining experience across many areas that drive the game behind the scenes. This role will be remote with 90% of the time focused on New Jersey with the other 10% focused on Northeast PA, Staten Island, and Rockland County, New York.
This internship is unpaid and may be structured to help satisfy college internship credit requirements, making it a valuable opportunity for students looking to break into the sports industry.

- Event Execution & Planning
- Marketing & Social Media
