Sports Business Internship

BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLAG STAR FOOTBALL AND MONUMENTAL SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT

This internship lives at the intersection of business and sports. It’s about governance, growth, operations and organizational excellence. It’s for curious, ambitious and driven young leaders to gain real-world (and paid) experience in an exciting and rapidly-growing industry.

While shadowing Flag Star Football’s day-to-day operations and growth strategy, interns will also hear-from and work-under top executives of the Monumental Sports and Entertainment team. Infused with guest-lectures from top, local executives, interns will get to interact with and learn from the area’s industry leaders.

This is for folks who want to learn, grow and take a meaningful step towards their professional futures.

Monumental’s executive leaders, Zach Leonsis (President and Vice Chairman) and Monica Dixon (President of External Affairs and Chief Administrative Officer), speak to the 2025–2026 interns.
