2020 MLB Spring Training/Spring Break Experience
THE APPLICATION IS LIVE FOR THE 2020 MLB SPRING TRAINING/SPRING BREAK EXPERIENCE.
In spring 2020, students will meet once a week on Wednesdays from 11:45 am-12:35 pm prior to a spring break (Feb. 29-Mar. 7) trip to the Tampa and south Florida area for the Grapefruit League of MLB Spring Training from March 3–7.
YOU MUST HAVE THE 11:45 AM — 12:35 PM SLOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR SCHEDULE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Students will be responsible for reporting on Grapefruit League games, fan experiences, features and other events surrounding spring training in the Tampa area. Students will file these stories to our class website including multimedia elements and much more.
Students will also be required to participate in the planning of events to be covered, obtaining credentials for events and planning travel. We will also meet for one day following spring break to decompress from the experience and share the strengths and weaknesses of the program. It is strongly recommended that students have prior reporting experience, but not required.
Students will be selected for interviews and meet with Eric Esterline for approval to participate in this experience. Students are chosen on a case-by-case basis.
Once selected, students are required to register for credit for this student experience.
*There is an additional cost to this experience in providing your own travel and lodging.
