Do you love to write and shoot sport? Want to just give it a try?

Then you’re welcome to come and join us as a Red Sports intern.

You will learn to write a sports story, figure out how to shoot sports, build courage to interview complete strangers and make new friends in the sports industry.

One of our ex-interns and Red Crew, Noor Farhan, joined News Radio 938LIVE in 2011.

Some of our interns enjoyed the programme so much, they stayed on as volunteer Red Crew. Over time, they have had good memories of their time in Red Sports.

One of our past graduates, Tan Jon Han, had this to say about his experience.

“Red Sports has been an answer to my desires as I was always searching for sports events to shoot. I hardly found find any back then, or the timings didn’t fit or was restricted to those few events that my friends took part in.

“One day, when I saw a Red Sports shirt again, having seen one previously, a few days later, I remembered and thought, ‘Just google and see what I can find.’ The rest is history,” said Jon.
