Alliance, Marlington, Minerva, Holy Name, Padua, Tri-C, and Strongsville are some of the many schools we cover throughout the course of the year. Just as we have a great variety of schools in our coverage range, we have a number of sponsorship packages that will fit your needs. Take a moment to read our sponsorship menu below.

– Basic Broadcast Sponsor ($10 Per Game): This gets you a 30-second ad that runs on rotation throughout the broadcast.

-Highlight Package Sponsor ($5 Per Video): This gets your logo placed on a short form (60 seconds or less) highlight reel featuring footage from one of our many games. These highlights could be one player or a group, depending on the game. The video gets posted to Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

2025 SmeeSports Internship Program Announcement

Strongsville, OH- I am happy to announce that SmeeSports is launching an internship program starting in the Summer of 2025! This has been a long time in the works and I am so blessed to finally be at this point.

Right off the bat, this is an UNPAID internship. However, I will be making sure I give out SmeeSports merch to interns. Additionally, this internship can count as a practicum or college credit. Still, DOUBLE CHECK WITH YOUR UNIVERSITY AND PROFESSORS! Some might not accept.

With that out of the way, the next question I will address is, “Why intern with SmeeSports?” While we are a newer company, we have experienced great growth over the past few months. Entering this school year, we had just over 100 subscribers on YouTube and around (or less) than 2000 followers on Instagram. Now, we have almost 2700 subscribers on YouTube and approaching 3000 on Instagram with a consistent stretch of having over 100,000 impressions per month. What does that mean? Your work WILL be seen.

Another reason why is that I understand what it feels like to be new or in the unknown in this industry. I am only 19 years old and a freshman at Mount Union. However, I have worked in sports media since 2021. I created Holy Name Broadcasting and grew the social media accounts from scratch. Then, I spent 6 months at KeeOnSports gaining more experiences and opportunities. Now, I have decided to bet on myself and my skills. While a few reels generated a lot of my following, I am here because I worked as hard as I could to get here. If you want to make it big, I will do all I can to help you get there.

My vision for this internship is to have interns write sports articles, take pictures of sporting events, or run broadcast equipment live. However, I am open to new ideas. If you have even the smallest idea, let me know. I am here to help you grow. I do not have all of the answers.

While we are based out of the Cleveland area, we will have events in Stark County including the 2025 NABF World Series at Thurman Munson Stadium in Canton. Additionally, we will be covering numerous tournament games including Kent State Invites at Kent State University. Long story short–we are everywhere.

If you are interested, please fill out the Google form at the bottom of this article. I am looking forward to meeting and talking to you. Here’s to a successful Summer of internships, opportunities, and breakthroughs!
