"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well." ― Herb Elliot

Greetings T&C Families and Friends,



Well, the kids are already headed back to school and summer is coming to a close. We are excited to welcome all the kids and families back to campus for the new fall sports season.

All our fall sports are currently open for registration, but some are closing soon and others filling up fast. If you haven’t yet registered, now is the time don’t wait!


We have had a more favorable summer this year for growing grass and our maintenance staff has been hard at work preparing the fields all summer long. This hard work and timely rain have resulted in our fields looking in much better shape to begin the fall season than they have in several years.


As you are likely aware, we are currently in our 50th year of serving the youth of north Austin and have some exciting events coming planned for this fall. We will kick off the fall season and welcome everyone back to T&C with our 3rd annual Family Fun Day event to be held Labor Day (September 2nd) on the Meadowheath side of the complex. Additional information about this event is below in this newsletter. I hope many of you plan to come out and play with us this Labor Day and kick off the season.


In addition to all the fall sports, we intend to have several other events throughout the fall including the “T&C Trunk or Treat” and “Turkey Trot.” So, remember to read your newsletters, check the website often and follow us on social media to keep updated with all we have going on at T&C this fall.


We are all looking forward to a fun fall season so please remember to register soon to ensure your spot.



I hope you and your family have had a fun, healthy, safe summer and I look forward to seeing many of you out on campus over the next several months.
