The Boston Aztecs are seeking college students from a sports management, business management or communications program for our annual intern program.   The purpose of this program is to provide young men and women the opportunity to be involved with the operations and marketing of the Women’s Premier Soccer League’s (WPSL) Boston Aztec teams.  The WPSL is one of the top women’s soccer leagues in the world boasting players that play internationally for their national teams, past experience in the WUSA and top division I athletes.  WPSL now serves as one of the feeder leagues into the Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) league.  The Boston Aztecs are the official minor league team to the Boston Breakers of the WPS.  The franchise also fields an entirely college based team, Aztec U23.  This team is comprised of top college players from New England. 

Interns will be tasked with the operations of both teams to include travel arrangements, home game operations, marketing, game promotion and media communication. Students will be given visible and measurable responsibility as part of the Aztec operations team.
