4 Sports in College Station that Aren’t Football

If Aggieland is well known for any sport, it’s football. We’re very proud of our football team, the Aggies. And in fact, people come from all over the country to watch a game at Kyle Field. But what about when it’s not football season? How do sports enthusiasts get their fix?

Football might be our most talked about sport in College Station, but it’s certainly not the only thing we have to offer sports lovers. From other excellent Texas A&M teams to local sports organizations, here are a few sports you can enjoy in Bryan-College Station.

Baseball & Softball

Football might be the highlight of autumn, but there’s plenty of baseball and softball to go around in the heat of summer. The Aggies baseball team plays at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. Texas A&M is currently 12-12 in the Southeastern Conference, and recently won a victory over the number one team in the conference, Florida.

For more amateur baseball players, there’s College Station Little League, Twelve Baseball Academy, and even softball for adults. Try-outs usually occur in the spring, with games played throughout the summer.

Soccer

There are several operational soccer clubs in Bryan-College Station, including: College Station Soccer Club, Brazos Valley Futbol Club, B/CS Soccer League, and Texas Aggieland Soccer Club. So it comes as no surprise that there are plenty of opportunities to catch a soccer game throughout the year. The annual Aggieland classic can be found every year in February at Veteran’s Park and boasts one of the nicest complexes in South Texas.

Basketball

Starting in the fall at Reed’s Arena, you can watch both men and women’s Aggies basketball teams play their hearts out. And for aspiring basketball players who hope to join those ranks one day, there’s basketball with Youth Athletics, which teaches not only the sport but strong teamwork skills that players will take on and off the court. High school basketball seasons are also enthusiastically followed, by family of the students as well as local basketball fans in general.

Golf

Whether at a country club or a public golf course, there are many opportunities to break out the golf clubs in Bryan-College Station. The Golf Club at Texas A&M was recently renovated to include an 18-hole championship course, as well as a game practice area. Pebble Creek Golf Course not only includes the golf course itself, but a full sports bar. Its beautiful landscape also makes for the perfect wedding venue. And with Bryan-College Station’s friendly atmosphere, you’re sure to find a golf buddy in no time.

And that’s not including tennis, track and field, swimming, and so much more! We love sports in College Station, and that doesn’t mean just football — though our football program is also pretty great. Here you can find a wide variety of sports to enjoy whether as a spectator, a player, or a proud parent. There are many reasons to call College Station home, but for a sports lover, it’s really no question.
