Longhorns beach volleyball program to compete in the CCSA, not the SEC


Not all Texas Longhorns are heading to the SEC.

Texas announced Friday that its beach volleyball program will compete next year in the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association. Texas is now in the Southeastern Conference, which does not have beach volleyball. The Longhorns are joining other beach volleyball schools such as LSU, Florida State and South Carolina in the CCSA.

UT’s beach volleyball program has operated as an independent over its first two years. Led by former UCLA coach Stein Metzger, Texas went 7-8 during the 2024 season.

“We are excited to join the CCSA, which provides our student-athletes the opportunity to compete against some of the nation’s best,” Metzger said in a statement. “I have great respect for the coaches and programs in the CCSA, and we look forward to growing together as a conference. Considering the changing landscape of college athletics, I feel confident we are joining the right group of institutions that have the motivation and resources to support women’s collegiate athletics and specifically, Beach Volleyball.”
