Intersport is seeking to add a smart and driven aspiring sports management professionals as interns for the 2026 Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children's, held November 30- December 6, 2026, at Feather Sound Country Club.

This is a paid internship of $15 an hour up to 32 hours per week and candidates are eligible for overtime pay (time and a half) for any hours over 40 a week.

 The Tournament Office is a fast-paced working environment. Tournament Interns must have the ability to work under pressure and handle many tasks at one time. Each day brings new challenges, and interns must have top-notch organizational and communication skills. On a daily basis, the intern will find themselves working in a typical office environment as well as significant work done in exterior environments. The ability to handle physical tasks such as lifting boxes and manual labor may be required at times. In the weeks leading up to the Tournament, the intern will work around (20) hours work weeks; however, as we grow closer to the Tournament, work weeks will lengthen to eighty-plus hours (80+) and will include early mornings, evenings, and several weekends. This is an extended commitment and will provide a more sustained and deeper learning experience than a typical internship. The interns’ collective contribution will be critically necessary for planning and executing a successful World Champions Cup.
