The school already has soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, and softball teams for both men and women. Starting in the fall of 2022, the school plans to add men\u2019s and women\u2019s cross country and women\u2019s volleyball. Both of these programs will compete during the fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TAMUT athletic staff is constantly researching ways to grow the university. The university believes that adding these two sports will help grow the school in various ways for years to come. Michael Galvan, TAMUT\u2019s athletic director, had several things to say about the expectations for the school&#8217;s athletic program in the upcoming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cFor both programs starting in Fall 2022 we want to make sure we meet our roster goals along with recruiting quality student-athletes who understand the standards of excellence we place on each and every one of the 200+ individuals who participate on our athletic teams here at TAMUT,\u201d&nbsp; Galvan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galvan also mentioned how adding these two programs would enroll 45+ students for every upcoming school year. Sam Cannon, a senior at TAMUT, briefly mentioned his thoughts on the two sports being added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannon stated, \u201cIt is great to see more programs being added to an institution that not only focuses on education, but is now showing a clear effort to reach even more students through the avenue of athletics. The opportunities that this will bring to TAMUT could be endless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty, staff, and students are hoping for a bright future for TAMUT athletics. With the addition of two new sports, it seems as if they will get what they are hoping for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TAMUT Athletics&nbsp; Texas A&amp;M Texarkana plans to make huge changes to the school\u2019s athletic program next year.
