Available spots
Service Description
Get ready to explore the world of Texas Athletics like never before! In this course, you’ll dive into a different sport each class — from soccer and volleyball to football, rowing, and hockey — while uncovering the science behind what makes athletes perform at their best. You’ll learn about the physiology of stamina, strength, endurance, and precision, and connect it to real examples from Texas teams and seasons. Best of all, you’ll get the chance to hear directly from current Texas student-athletes as guest speakers who will share their journeys, challenges, and what it means to wear the burnt orange. Come and experience the spirit, teamwork, and pride that make Texas Athletics truly legendary. ***[NEW - HYBRID] courses: Options for both in-person and/or virtual attendance. Class will be held synchronously in person at the University of Texas at Austin campus AND broadcasted on a live Zoom call for virtual participants to join simultaneously.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
