The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) communications internship gives a group of students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, build a professional portfolio, and promote one of the premier wood bat college baseball leagues in the nation.

Interested interns should ideally be pursuing a career in communications, media/public relations, digital media and/or graphic design, preferably in athletics at the collegiate or professional level. 

The Communications Intern will serve on a team with 3-5 other interns, reporting to the Director of Communications and Statistics. From May through August, the communications team works collaboratively to provide real-time coverage of all PGCBL games, special events, announcements and achievements.
