2025 Summer Grounds Internship Program

Looking for an interesting summer internship, one that allows you to get involved in all aspects of daily maintenance of a Major League playing field? Consider joining the Philadelphia Phillies Grounds Crew! Your summer will be spent helping maintain Citizens Bank Park!

The Program
Interns (seasonal assistants) can expect to work on all aspects of field care under the supervision of a first-class staff. From learning the proper way to repair a mound, to executing extra events such as concerts, to performing basic and advanced turf care practices, this internship covers it all! Every intern will be involved in all day-to-day maintenance including pre-game field preparation, fertilizing, spraying, aerating, topdressing, infield grooming, mowing, and equipment maintenance. You’ll be working out of one of the most state-of-the-art maintenance facilities in all professional sports with some of the finest equipment available, all the while helping to care for the HGT Kentucky Bluegrass playing surface with DuraEdge Professional infield mix!
