Morgan State University Strength and Conditioning Internship — Summer 2026

Morgan State University Athletics has officially opened applications for its Summer 2026 Strength and Conditioning Internship. The program invites motivated students and early-career professionals who want real experience in collegiate athletics to train and work alongside full-time university strength coaches. Selected interns will assist with varsity teams and gain practical coaching exposure in a structured learning environment.

About the Internship

This internship is designed for individuals who want to build a career in Strength & Conditioning coaching. Interns will not just observe — they will actively participate in daily athletic performance operations, athlete monitoring, and facility management.

You will work directly within a Division-I collegiate setting and learn how performance programs are planned, implemented, and evaluated for competitive athletes.

Another major benefit:
Interns may complete the required hours toward the CSCCa – SCCC certification and can also be strongly considered for a paid apprenticeship during the 2026–2027 academic year.

What You Will Do

Interns will assist the Strength & Conditioning staff in daily operations, including:

• Assisting training sessions for Football and Men’s/Women’s Basketball teams

• Helping with training facility organization and maintenance

• Recording athlete performance data and tracking progress

• Assisting with equipment setup and breakdown

• Supporting team logistics and workout transitions

• Completing tasks assigned by the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach

This is a hands-on coaching internship, not a desk-based role.

Who Should Apply

The university is looking for candidates who are serious about pursuing coaching or athletic performance careers.

Minimum Requirements

• Strong work ethic and punctuality

• Professional attitude

• Good communication skills

• Interest in Strength & Conditioning coaching career

Preferred (Helpful but not mandatory)

Internship Dates

May 18, 2026 – August 1, 2026

This is an unpaid internship, so applicants should make sure they can financially manage living and travel arrangements before applying.

Selected candidates will also go through a university background check.

What You Will Gain

This internship is valuable because it provides three things most beginners lack:

1. Real athlete coaching experience

2. Mentorship from college strength coaches

3. Certification hours (CSCCa – SCCC pathway)

For students aiming to become:

• Strength Coach

• Athletic Performance Coach

• Sports Trainer

• Collegiate Athletic Staff

this type of collegiate experience is extremely important on a resume.

Quick Tip

If you are a sports science, kinesiology, physical education, or fitness student, this kind of internship often matters more than classroom grades because universities and teams prefer candidates with actual athlete training exposure.
