Tarleton’s growth as a national contender in intercollegiate athletics continues as the university announced the addition of the fastest-growing Olympic sport in the country, Beach Volleyball.
Tarleton will join Conference USA as an affiliate member in the sport beginning Fall 2023. The beach volleyball season competes in the spring semester.
In its early stages of competition as a varsity collegiate spring sport, Beach Volleyball was approved as an NCAA Emerging Sport for women in 2009. It played its first official season during the 2011-12 academic year and hosted its inaugural National Championship in 2016. —submitted
