Sea Dawgs Background
  • Since the conclusion of last season there have
    been many changes within the Sea Dawgs
    organization. The biggest change for the team has
    been the switch from the American Basketball
    Association (ABA) to the newly developed Premier
    Basketball League (PBL).
  • 2008 marks the inaugural season for the PBL

6
Sea Dawg Background
  • The PBL is a minor league basketball organization
    that offers professional basketball within 11
    cities in the United States with plans for future
    international expansion. The PBL intends to
    recruit the best non-NBA players in the world and
    showcase these young stars of tomorrow in a
    setting that will enable fans to become part of
    the experience, not only of the team in their
    community, but to see up close and personal the
    development of these young stars. The Sea Dawgs
    are excited about the opportunity to be an
    inaugural member of such a promising new league.

Community Based Involvement
  • The Sea Dawgs seek to be involved with every type
    of person. They strive to create some type of
    interaction with everyone in the Wilmington area
    and surrounding communities.
  • The Sea Dawgs make it clear that if it wasnt for
    the fans, this organization wouldnt be possible.
  • They commit themselves to making sure that you
    have to best time you could ever have during a
    game.

9
Intern Duties Overall
  • There was a total of 10 Home Games in which
    myself and all other interns attended.
  • We came 4 hours before each game started to set
    up, remained for the entire game, and did clean
    up following the games ending.
  • Everyone had a job

10
My Specific Duties
  • For each game I maintained operational duties
    including
  • The theme of the game (Kids Night, Teen Night,
    College Night, Scouts Night, Armed Forces Night)
    so that organization of entertainment pertained
    to the specific theme.
  • Posted Sponsor Signs before every game
  • Handled pre-game events such as Color Guard and
    National Anthem
  • Half-time shows
  • Operated all of the Fan Games during media
    time-outs, which occurred in every quarter at the
    8 minute and 4 minute mark
  • Helped the DJ with set-up and song selection
  • T-shirt and mini basketball toss organization for
    the entire staff or dance team it rotated most
    of the games
  • Mascot organization

11
My Specific Duties
  • Contacted local schools and organizations for all
    half-time show requests
  • Created a Sea Dawg appearance event for the
    players and dance team at Leland Middle School to
    promote the importance of Education and interact
    with kids
  • Created and hosted a Sea Dawgs After Hours
    event for 75 sponsors that helped in making our
    season successful

12
Duties that relate to Sports Psychology
  • Talked with players about how they became who
    they were (life experiences), how they approached
    the Sea Dawg program, and what they have learned
    in this organization.
  • A lot of observation through my own eyes as to
    how professional players act and their attitudes,
    as well as their coaches, in different settings.
  • Observed physical training performance

13
Would I recommend this experience?
  • Yes! I would greatly advise this opportunity for
    anyone interested in sports. If you are
    interested in how teams and professional
    organizations operate as a whole, this is the
    place for you! There are a variety of duties for
    everyone and anyone. The staff is friendly and
    always willing to help you. The environment is
    very exciting and upbeat. You have the chance to
    interact with hundreds of people and obtain
    experiences on many different levels. It is a
    truly, wonderful opportunity and experience.
