News/Events

April 25, 2008 – The rolling basketball tournament put on by ASCOTS (Adaptive Sport Club of Texas State) was a great success. There were twelve teams that played in the tournament and had an outstanding time. Congratulations to the Ballard Ballers for winning the tournament. We received many donations from a variety of businesses around the San Marcos area. We would like to thank the Texas State Golf Course, San Antonio Botannical Gardens, Blockbuster, Sunset Bowling, SMAC, TANCO, Carino’s Italian Grill, Witch Which, and HEB. In particular, we would also like to thank Larry Turner and the Austin Rec’ers team for all their hard work at the tournament and their large donation to the ASCOTS. The money will be used towards student scholarships and promoting inclusive recreation within the Texas State University-San Marcos community.

NEWS SPLASH!!!

Dr. Lyn Litchke and her Therapeutic Recreation students along with some of the Adaptive Physical Education students engaged in a service learning lab at the State Hatchery last Friday, January 25, 2008. This annual event, Fun Fish Friday, is a partnership between Texas State University, San Marcus Parks and Recreation, as well as San Marcus Consolidated Independent School District.
