🏆 Professional Sports Camps
Headfirst Professional Sports Camps offer immersive youth camps partnered with Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, and National Football League professional sports franchises and elite athletes across the country.
Often operating from a new location each week, Pro Camps brings the spirit of our team partners to the regions around each team’s city.
You can learn more about them here.
We are very thoughtful and purposeful about each role onsite. No role exists alone – every hired team member should expect to interact with and potentially support or jump in for other colleagues at camp.
In general, the onsite roles follow this guide but depending on the program needs and site specifics, there may be duplicate roles or a smaller structure. Each site is unique!

During the summer, payroll is processed biweekly (i.e., every other week) for each unit.

Please note there is a one-week delay between the compensation earned for the current week’s work and the pay received.
In other words, each paycheck will not include the current week’s work; instead your compensation includes the pay earned during the two weeks immediately before the current week.
- For example, the payroll running on Friday, July 11 will be for work done during the weeks of June 23 and June 30.
