When you’re not studying or working, the Texas Tech Recreation Center is a great place to relax and have fun. We host several Intramural Sports including football, soccer, tennis, and 9–ball. The Rec Center also has a brand new Leisure Pool complete with a water slide and a lap swimming area. You can even get a Therapeutic Massage. The Rec Center is the place to work out, cool off, and relax for all Texas Tech students.

Big 12 Sports

As a member of the Big 12, Texas Tech often competes against some of the best schools in the nation in a multitude of sports. While we’ve always been competitive in men’s and women’s football, basketball, and baseball/softball, our men’s footbal team has recently gained national recognition. Last year the Red Raiders managed to defeat the #1 team and are ranked among the top ten teams in the nation. We have some of the most modern sports facilities in the nation and admission is free to all Texas Tech students.
