The Big Leagues (and Beyond)
The University of Texas is a powerhouse in the NCAA Division I realm, boasting 12 stellar women's teams and a cool 9 men's teams. That's a combined 21 ways for Longhorns to bleed burnt orange sweat (and maybe a few tears of joy, we won't judge).
Men's Mania
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
For the fellas, we've got all the classics: the heart-stopping gridiron battles of football, the slam dunks and buzzer beaters of basketball, the precision swings of golf, and more. But that's not all! You can also cheer on the Longhorns in baseball, where dingers fly and strikeouts reign supreme. Feeling the need for speed? Track and field (both indoor and outdoor) has you covered. And for those who prefer a more aquatic atmosphere, there's always the swimming and diving team, where flips and flops become works of art.
Women Take the Wheel
The ladies of UT Austin are a force to be reckoned with on the playing field. We've got the high-octane hustle of soccer and softball, the strategic smashes of volleyball, and the synchronized grace of rowing. Feeling the rhythm? The beach volleyball team will have you saying "set, spike, victory!" And of course, no athletic department is complete without the power and finesse of basketball. UT Austin's women's team will have you cheering them on to victory.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
But Wait, There's More!
Now, this might surprise you, but those 21 teams aren't ALL UT Austin has to offer. Believe it or not, there's a whole world of club sports where students can compete for the love of the game (and maybe a few bragging rights). From rugby to ultimate frisbee, there's a niche for everyone.
