Dallas PULSE, North Texas’ women’s professional volleyball team in Major League Volleyball (MLV), announced a new sponsorship agreement with UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), naming UTSW the team’s Official Sports Medicine Partner. The partnership supports Dallas PULSE’s commitment to athlete wellness, performance, and long-term health on and off the court.

“UT Southwestern is known for having some of the best doctors and sports medicine specialists in the country, and that level of expertise matters when you’re building a world-class pro team,” said Grady Raskin, CEO of Dallas PULSE. “From elite athletic trainers to innovative care, this partnership strengthens our mission to prioritize athlete health, maximize performance, and set a new standard for how women’s professional sports teams support their players—today and for the long run.”

“UT Southwestern is proud to partner with the Dallas Pulse as the Official Team Doctors, bringing our nationally recognized family and sports medicine expertise to support these elite athletes with the highest standard of care,” said Antonia F. Chen, M.D., M.B.A., Chair and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UT Southwestern. “We look forward to helping advance women’s professional sports in North Texas while promoting performance, injury prevention, and long-term health.”

Professional volleyball is fast, physical, and relentlessly competitive. Every rally is a showcase  of power, speed, and precision. Dallas PULSE embodies this intensity and is already making waves in its inaugural season with a strong record among the top teams in the MLV. Behind impact performances across the entire roster, including dynamic outside hitters Mimi Colyer and Sofia Maldonado Diaz and former Olympian and team captain Natalia Valentin-Anderson, Dallas PULSE continues to build momentum at the highest level of women’s professional volleyball. 

In addition to UTSW, Dallas PULSE is supported by a growing roster of corporate partners to elevate the athlete and fan experience including BODYARMOR (Official Sports Drink), Sally Beauty (Official Beauty Supply), RideCentric (Official Transportation Partner), Hotel Indigo (Official Hotel Partner), RhinoSaucerous (Official Hot Sauce Partner), and Augment Wellness (Official Recovery Partner). 

The final regular-season home match is Sunday, May 3, when Dallas PULSE faces the Orlando Valkyries at 3 p.m. CT as part of Fan Appreciation. Activities throughout Comerica Center will include special photo opportunities, a fan poster signing, in-game shoutouts and more. The inaugural season has been fueled by dedicated fans who have brought the energy to every home game. That support has helped propel the PULSE into the playoffs.
