Rainout Information & Field Conditions
Sep 18 2008 - DK
Coaches should check with their league commissioners for any rain-out make-up game information.

Our current field status can be found by: 

1.  Calling the rainout number at 498-INFO (4636). This is the main T&C rain-out number. It will take you to baseball’s field condition, which can also be directly reached at 498-4694 (same message).

2.  Checking the baseball website at http://www.baseball.tandcsports.org

3.  For situations where the fields are closed, sign up for alerts via your cell phone, pager, or e-mail by going online at http://www.baseball.tandcsports.org/estatus.php

4.  If the fields are closed, then no one is allowed to be on them; no practices allowed.  

5.  We try to have our website and taped voice recording updated by 4:30pm on weekdays when conditions are questionable.  If the website or the voice recording is not updated, you should assume that games are being played.  Be aware conditions often change after 4:30pm and games may be called at the field while our website or voice recording may or may not be able to be updated.

Lightning Policy
1.  When you see lightning or hear thunder, immediately suspend activities and go to a shelter - a metal vehicle or substantial building is a safe place.

2. Wait until 30 minutes after the last observed lightning or thunder before resuming activities

3. The lightning light is located by the softball fields on the tallest light pole. When flashing, please have everyone exit the fields to a safe place

4. In addition, you might also hear an air horn. 4 blasts = exit the fields, 2 blasts = you may return to the field.

Thank you - let's be safe out there, have fun, play fair and play hard!

About Town and Country Baseball
The T&C Baseball association was formed in the early 1970's to provide a quality, safe place for children to learn and enjoy the game of baseball.  Over the years the T&C Baseball association has grown in size nowserving approximately 1200 players during the spring season.

The T&C baseball program is still as it has always been a program run 100% by parents and other volunteers, including board members and coaches. We have divisions for children as young as 4 and as old as 18 to play, learn, and enjoy the game of baseball at all skill levels.  Please review our website for additional information and feel free to contact one of the coordinators if you have questions not answered on the site.

There are really 3 baseball seasons at T&C.  The spring season is by far the biggest.  Players register for the spring season in January, have tryouts in early February and begin practice later that month.  They play games form March 1st through the end of May. 

The start of June begins the Tournament season.  Some of the players that were registered and played in the spring season at T&C are selected to play on tournament teams, which play during some of the summer months.

In August, we register players to play in the fall season.  The fall season games usually start in early September and end at the end of October.

We are always looking for parents interested in volunteering to participate in our association if you are interested please check the calendar on the website for the date of our next board meeting or email one of our board members for information.
