Falmouth Commodores Internships

COMMUNICATIONS TEAM

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. 

 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.
