Movin Mavs

Through the years, the University of Texas-Arlington has provided dozens of young athletes with disabilities the opportunity to represent the University at the highest levels of athletic competition through the Movin’ Mavs Wheelchair Basketball Team. The Movin’ Mav Club has been formed to help continue this support and continue the athletic and academic traditions started in 1977 by Coach Jim Hayes and the University of Texas-Arlington!

Investing in the Movin' Mavs
Support can come in many ways. Community support is essential in providing quality experiences and opportunities to compete at a National Level. Scholarships, travel and operating costs continue to rise above and beyond the reach of current budgets. Your support is essential in meeting the academic and athletic needs of our student-athletes. Membership and participation in the Movin’ Mav Club will give you the opportunity to be a part of the legacy of Coach Jim Hayes and the tradition of University of Texas-Arlington Wheelchair Athletics. Being an active part of this legacy will help sustain the Movin’ Mav program, our athletes and our staff by providing the tools and programs necessary to ensure that our athletes can grow, achieve and carry on the winning traditions. These newest efforts are to support an annual Jim Hayes Memorial Scholarship and help provide the Movin’ Mav experience for one of our new student athletes!  Assist with the “Adopt a Tournament” or “Adopt a Team Member” and help provide the necessary support for a quality competitive experience or participation expenses for one athlete for one season.
