Hey! I'm considering attending Concordia University in Austin, primarily due to their athletics program. Can anyone give me some information about the sports available and how competitive the teams are? Are the facilities and coaching staff up to par?

Hey! I'm happy to help you out with information about Concordia University Austin's athletics program. Concordia University Austin participates in a wide array of sports, both men's and women's, as part of the NCAA Division III and the American Southwest Conference (ASC).

The sports available at Concordia are:

- Men's: Baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field

- Women's: Basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, and volleyball

Since they are a Division III school, their focus is on providing a well-rounded collegiate experience that balances academics and sports. The program's competitiveness varies by sport, but in general, you can expect a supportive environment that emphasizes growth and teamwork.

As for the facilities, they have a multi-purpose athletic center, a turf soccer field, a baseball and softball complex, tennis courts, and a fitness center. While these facilities may not be as extensive as those at larger Division I schools, they are well-maintained and designed for student-athletes at a Division III level.

The coaching staff at Concordia comes with various levels of experience and accomplishments, although many have had successful careers as athletes or coaches before joining the Concordia community. Division III coaches generally focus on player development, teamwork, and sportsmanship, by providing support and mentorship for student-athletes as people, not just players.

You might want to reach out to the athletic department or current student-athletes to get a better understanding of what it's like to be part of the teams at Concordia University Austin, especially the one(s) you're most interested in joining. Connecting with those currently at the institution can provide you with a more personal perspective on the facilities, coaching staff, and overall experience as a student-athlete at Concordia University Austin.
