The Orange County Riptide are a summer collegiate baseball team and participate in the California Collegiate League (CCL). Our mission is to stay consistent with our winning tradition, while instilling the values of Integrity, Faith and Excellence through the game of baseball. 

 

The Orange County Riptide: 2016 Internship Program is a great way for college level students to explore new adventures as they gain and enjoy life experiences while learning how the nation’s top amateur baseball league operates. From a sun-splashed day to a cool beach weather evenings students will become an integral part of the Riptide's operations and success, as they work alongside each other in such areas as broadcasting, baseball operations, marketing, fundraising, human resources and management, communications, public relations and journalism.

We are in search of highly competitive, highly motivated individuals who have a strong interest in the field of sports broadcasting, baseball management and public relation opportunities.

Interns must provide their own housing and transportation to and from the field.  Housing in Orange County can be expensive. Internships are non-paid positions, and most interns seek employment while here for the summer.  Most of our interns are local college students looking for exciting experiences to add to thier resumes.  

Internships may possibly be approved for college credits. It is the responsibility of the applying intern to check with their university
