Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a motivated, high-energy performer who loves entertaining crowds and creating memorable experiences. You should be creative, fun-loving, and comfortable being the center of attention - whether dancing on the court, posing for photos, or interacting with kids and families.

We are a well-prepared group with the goal of building a championship-quality organization! We believe there are three (3) key legs of the stool required to build a quality franchise.

• We need to create and manage a high-quality entertainment product that is appealing to a broad age range. We want TBL basketball home games to be a high-quality, fun, and entertaining event that people, both basketball fans and non-basketball fans, will enjoy.
• We need to put together an excellent basketball team and basketball organization. To this end, we are interviewing head coaches now and hope to hire someone by June of this year so that they will have a full year to build and plan a team.
• We need to build a community organization that is invested in Frederick County. Our goal is for TBL basketball, over time, to be part of the fabric of the community and a team that the people of Frederick are proud of.

This is a unique opportunity for someone with energy, drive, and a positive attitude who is indefatigable and will gain great satisfaction from being a part of creating something new.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class.
