Sports Industry Youth Exploring Post

Students interested in Sports Marketing, Events, Promotion, Management, Media, Sales, Coaching, Health & Fitness, Medicine, Physical Therapy, and so much more are invited to join the new Explorer Post hosted by Bethesda Big Train Baseball. Explorer Posts are a division of the Boy Scouts of America and exist across the United States to give male and female students the opportunity to explore various professions.  The Big Train Explorer program will offer students hands on experiences and trainings before, during, and after the team’s 16th season as well as offer volunteer opportunities in the community. 

The Explorer Post is for students 14 – 20 years of age. Adult Advisors are also needed, to be an Advisor for this program you must be over 21. The primary purpose of this program is to give the students involved experience in a career field they are interested in pursuing.

Don’t miss your opportunity to be a part of something special. Cost for registration into the program will be $30 per registrant, students or adult, which will cover 11 month registration into the program. The estimated additional cost for the program is $70 per student which will help cover the cost of Big Train Polo Shirts and other program related materials.
