A prospective walk-on should still be an accomplished high school or college transfer varsity athlete to be considered. Students with recreational experience in sports should consider The University's recreation and intramural program. Spartan teams compete for conference and national honors, and thus play a competitive Div. II schedule in each sport. All SSC teams are private universities located in Florida, which require little travel or time away from school.
Most teams make at least one trip to another region each season.
Most teams play a traditional schedule and have a non-traditional workout schedule in the opposite semester. So be prepared to make athletics a commitment second only to academic progress during much of your school year. Incoming freshmen are usually scheduled by advisors to fit the specific sport practice times. You should inform your advisor that you are planning to compete in varsity athletics. UT coaches are aware that some academic scheduling conflicts can't be helped.
