Who we are
CollegiatePB is a fast-growing startup dedicated to elevating collegiate pickleball across the country. What started as a passion project just a short time ago has quickly gained traction — expanding tools and resources for collegiate clubs, partnering with industry leaders, and building a growing online community of players, clubs, and fans.
As a small start-up, we can only offer credit for internships. CollegiatePB will complete all paperwork required by your university to make sure you get the appropriate credit.

Types of Opportunities
Social Media & Marketing
Interns will own content planning, creation, and posting while collaborating with CollegiatePB’s founders to shape social media strategy, highlight collegiate pickleball stories, and engage student-athletes, clubs, and fans nationwide. This role offers real responsibility, creative freedom, and the opportunity to build a public-facing portfolio while directly impacting brand visibility and audience growth. This role may include on-camera creation and brand representation on Instagram.
Digital Platform & Systems Integration
This internship offers hands-on experience in research, data management, and digital platform development within the fast-growing collegiate pickleball space. Interns will work directly with the co-founders of CollegiatePB to support the national club directory, leaderboard model, platform integrations, automation initiatives and community tools that power collegiate pickleball programs across the country. Learning objectives and project deliverables are designed to meet common academic internship requirements and may be adapted to specific university guidelines.
