Student Manager Opportunity!
|
An opportunity from
Spencer Hoagland
, a current student manager with UF Women's Lacrosse
AND Sport Management major:
We are looking for a couple new student managers for this season to start volunteering with us as soon as possible.
Ideally, we are looking for Freshmen or Sophomores who could be around for multiple seasons, spring and fall. No prior knowledge of lacrosse is necessary. Their schedule should be open most afternoons.
We are hoping to find students who are passionate about sports and are looking to get involved in daily operations and create connections and gain experience in the sports industry.
These new volunteers will be engaged in full student manager duties for the entirety of the fall and spring semesters working through practices, games, and other team activities and will have the opportunity to continue with the same role next year in a scholarship spot through the University Athletic Association.
