KUTZTOWN, Pennsylvania – Living Sport is proud to announce a new partnership with Rugby ATL of Major League Rugby. With this collaboration, Living Sport and Rugby ATL have developed an immersive educational program providing an enhanced hands-on experience to young professionals aspiring to secure employment in the sport industry.
Living Sport will seek to recruit the industry’s best and brightest to partake in this 2-week developmental camp that is scheduled to run June 13-27, 2021. Applicants will be vying for placement on three teams within Rugby ATL including marketing, ticket sales, and operations. Program participants will have involvement in day-to-day operations and will assist in executing two (2) home rugby matches played at Life University (the “Snake Pit”).
Program participants will also receive the standard benefits of participating in a Sport Business Program through Living Sport. Alumni benefits includes joining the Living Sport Network – an ever-growing network of like-minded sport business professionals, future sport business travel opportunities, and the option to continue involvement through free alumni programs such as the Living Sport Alumni Board, Ambassador Program, Book Club, exclusive digital sessions, reunion events, and more!
“A partnership with Rugby ATL aligns perfectly with all that Living Sport has been organizing the past 5 years” says President and Founder of Living Sport, Alicia Marinelli. “We have put major emphasis on teaching young professionals about really great sports that may not get the media draw of the NFL or NBA. Like soccer (football), rugby is a world sport and it’s important to understand the impact it makes in the global sport world. The Rugby ATL staff is really what solidifies this partnership. They are all great people who have a passion for developing young professionals through the sport they love.”
“It's tremendous what Alicia and her team are doing to educate these young professionals inside the business realm while touring around different cities, experiencing different cultures, and really driving a learning experience” says Kevin McCorry, Vice President at Rugby ATL. “Had I had the opportunity to sign up for this, I would have signed up for a 4-year program.” McCorry adds.
