Baltimore, MD – Baltimore-based STX, LLC, a global sporting goods leader, announced today its STXtreme Internship Contest, a search for an undergraduate intern to work with the Marketing Department at STX.
STX is accepting STXtreme Internship applications now through Wed. Oct. 17. The top finalists will then be chosen to compete in the STXtreme Intern Showdown. The showdown will require the applicants to get creative and showcase their marketing skills with a networking and social media scavenger hunt and sports challenge. The final Showdown event will take place at Power Plant Live! on Nov. 5 at 2 p.m.
The STXtreme Internship is focused on real sports marketing experience and exposure. The intern will be participating in projects such as photo shoots, sales meetings and college game days.

To be eligible, students must be enrolled in a bachelor’s program at an accredited college or university for the upcoming semester and major in Communications, Marketing, Public Relations or a related major. Applicants must also be able to work a minimum of 12 hours per week and be available from start of the Spring semester through June 7th.
“STX’s motto is ‘Never Stop’ and we’re looking for someone who exhibits that same passion and insatiable curiosity,” said STX Marketing Director Ed Saunders. “The hands-on work that they will accomplish here will prepare them for real-world sports marketing. We hope that this internship contest really brings out the applicants’ creative personalities.”
To apply, eligible students should submit a blog post or 1-minute video explaining why they want to work at STX and why they are a best fit for the brand to [email protected] along with their resume.

In 2009, Adam O’Neill, Harry Alford and Thomas Alford launched Lacrosse Playground as the preeminent site for lacrosse gearheads. For years Lacrosse Playground provided lacrosse fans with tutorials and tips on how to string a lacrosse head, up-close looks at the gear the top players used and sneak peeks at equipment and uniforms before they were released. More than 10 years and millions of visits later, Lacrosse Playground has relaunched with a focus on storytelling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest lacrosse news, share insights into the sports betting and fantasy lacrosse world and showcase the lifestyles and personalities of the sport of lacrosse through articles, videos and podcasts.
Predicting the PLL Protected Player Rosters (Pro Lacrosse Talk Podcast #129)
byPro Lacrosse Talk
On this episode of the Pro Lacrosse Talk Podcast, Hutton Jackson and Adam Moore are joined by Lacrosse Playground contributor Brian Andrews. They discuss the Atlas cutting Scott Rodgers, Jeremy Thompson, Kyle Hartzell and Callum Robinson, the trade that sent Rob Pannell to the Redwoods and Chris Hogan, Dalton Crossan and Garrett Thul joining the PLL. They also discuss the retirement of Matt Danowski and Brett Schmidt, provide their predictions for the protected rosters particularly with Dillon Ward, Connor Fields, Paul Rabil, Joe Walters and Kyle Harrison, and theorize what it would take for Coach Sean Quirk to trade the top pick in the PLL Entry Draft and presumably the chance to draft Lyle Thompson.
