WHAT IS OOZEBALL?
One of UT Dallas’ favorite traditions, Oozeball is a mud volleyball tournament held annually. The tournament was founded by the UT Dallas Student Ambassadors in 2002 and continues to be organized by the Student Ambassadors and University Recreation. Each year, the Student Ambassadors choose a UT Dallas organization to help fundraise for. This 2019-2020 year, a portion of all Oozeball proceeds will go towards the Military and Veteran Center. Find us on the beautiful Oozeball courts just south of the Jindal School of Management on the field between University Parkway and Armstrong.
Team make up: Firstly, a minimum of 6 players are required to make up a team. We understand personal schedules may affect availability, therefore a team can enlist up to 10 people as players and substitutes on your team. A maximum of 6 players are allowed on the court at a time, with rotations. Note that active team players must consist of gender diverse participants; more than one gender identity must be represented on each team. All players must register by September 11, 2019. Names and email addresses must be sent to ambassadors@utdallas.edu.
