Greetings T&C Families and Friends,

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and found some way to stay cool.

Fall is finally coming although, it still doesn’t feel very fall like.

It is awesome having all the kids and families back on campus with games underway. 

I want to thank everyone that helped coordinate and put on the second annual Labor Day Family Fun Day and Fun Run. It was great to see many of you enjoying the event.

This year has been a challenging summer for growing grass all over central Texas and T&C was no exception. Our maintenance staff has done an amazing job of keeping most of our fields in good playable condition considering the drought and extreme heat.

We are super excited to announce the opening of our first artificial turf surface field. Although we ran into a couple supply chain issues, the new and improved Field 10 (Mike Hammer Field) was game ready for week two of the baseball season. We are looking forward to this new addition for our youngest baseball and softball players.

At T&C, we want to help every kid play. So each year, we hold a fundraiser event with the proceeds going to reduce the costs to play sports, especially for low-income families. T&C will be hosting our annual “Help Every Kid Play” Charity Bowling Tournament at Highland Lanes this year on October 22^nd so I hope to get to see many of you at this event. 

(More info. on this event below.)

We have several special events in the planning stage for this fall. So remember to check the website often, follow us on social media, and read your newsletters for the latest information regarding registration, events, and all that is going on at T&C over the next year.

I want to thank all of you for being a part of Town and Country and making it such a wonderful place for all our children to learn and play. 

Have a great fall season and I look forward to seeing you on campus over the next few months.

Best regards,

Doug Chappell

Get Involved

Yes, we are doing everything we can to address the number of ants on our fields. Limiting the exposure of ants and maintaining our fields for the safety of our community is paramount.

Why are there so many ants around lately?

The extended hot and dry weather period of a 100 days combined with our watering of T&C fields attracted ants to our fields. The recent 3 inches of rain at our facility has caused ants to further surface and migrate.

T&C has broadcast ant poison across all the playing fields. We continue to spot treat mounds with an additional poison. We plan another field-wide broadcast and are consulting with suppliers/manufacturers on the most effective timing. 

Please be careful as we continue to work on the ant problem.

To check the field status, please visit our website for live updates. Coaches, sports leaders, and commissioners usually communicate to their teams when practices and games are cancelled but you may also check our website to see what fields are open/ closed.
