Magan Green, Women's Tennis

Magan Green, a sophomore from Farmersville, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete-of-the-Week representative from Austin College for the spring athletics season.

Magan Green has been deeply involved with work in the community, especially when it comes to working with children, since long before she arrived at Austin College. The sophomore tennis player from Farmersville, Texas, began coaching youth basketball when she was just 16, and has since been volunteering as a coach ever since, working with kids as young as first grade, all the way up through high school.

Green, who also played basketball during her freshman year at Austin College, first became involved in youth coaching by way of her volunteer work and community service through her church in Farmersville. The Kangaroo sophomore worked extensively through her church to impact her community in Farmersville, with local building projects for both her own church as well as others in the area, and it was through her connections there that members of her community actually asked her to help mentor the local children through their youth basketball teams.

Over the years, Green has done extensive work coaching kids and continues to this day, and has also continued to do volunteer work within the community at events such as haunted houses and bike rides that are directed at the children in her area, providing them with great experiences while also serving as a role model. Since arriving at Austin College, Green has continued to work with children in large part through her connections with Kangaroo athletics. While a member of the basketball team, she helped run the team’s free clinic benefiting the local chapter of Toys for Tots, and has also worked with Special Olympics of North Texas alongside several of her fellow Austin College student-athletes.

Green has done extensive work not just with children in coaching and Special Olympics, but also through her church with mission work and teaching Sunday School. The history major, who is also minoring in Exercise and Sports Science, has excelled recently on the tennis court, capturing the B-Draw consolation title at the ITA Fall Regional Championship in San Antonio in September.
