Recreational Organizations

Argentine Tango Club

The main focus of this club is to organize Argentine tango classes at UT Southwestern in an effort to share our passion for this dance.

Badminton Club

The club is a student organization dedicated to promoting the sport of badminton, developing members' skills, and providing a competitive and fun playing environment. We welcome students, faculty, and staff players of all skill levels. The goal of the club is to bring together all badminton players at UT Southwestern by offering a healthy environment for competitive badminton and to clear the misconception of badminton as a typical "American backyard game". Our club meets on Saturday at the Student Center from 4 - 8 p.m.

Bike Club

The club organizes bicycle rides around Dallas for students, staff, and faculty who are interested in biking. All types of riders are welcome. Members will be encouraged to participate in local rides (e.g. Tour de Dallas). The club promotes biking as a means to exercise, stay active, and even as a mode of transportation.

Dartos Soccer Club

Dartos is the UT Southwestern soccer team. In the fall and spring, we play in the fourth division of the North Texas Premier Soccer Association. Commitment is limited to weekly games on Sunday mornings and afternoons. In the off-season we play indoors. The team comprises fun-loving and competitive students. Tryouts are hosted in the first week of classes.

Running Club

Established to create a social organization for UT Southwestern students with a shared interest in running. The Running Club serves to coordinate group runs, training programs, and social activities for UT Southwestern runners.

Taekwondo

We will provide a venue for cultivating the physical/mental health and philosophical/ethical values of this martial art, in addition to being a great place to meet new people and get a good workout! Taekwondo, which can be translated to mean the “way of foot and fist,” is widely considered to be the most popular martial art in the work, spanning more than 100 countries with more than 30 million practitioners. The club will run in an instructive class format or free workout tie. No prior martial arts experience is needed!

Ultimate Frisbee Organization (UFO)

Established in 2011 to promote the development/awareness of Ultimate Frisbee as a sport. We also encourage fair game and good sportsmanship and engage in the spirit of fun to win!
