Do you play softball? Tamarind Grove has two teams but for this summer we lost about 6 players who were snowbirds. We had to combine with a Liberty Park team that was also shorthanded to field a complete team. TV plays with 11 players on a team.


Which Tamarind Grove CYV community are you in? There are four in Tamarind Grove, I'm in Southern Star. I guess we have more CYV's than most villages because we have no Patio Villas.

Before he can play a game, he has to be evaluated. Every player goes through that before they are allowed on a team. It's held at the Buffalo Glen softball fields near TV High School. Going west on 466 turn left at the light on Totonka, Red Lobster is on the corner.

It held every Tuesday morning at 8am, although they would like you to be there by 7:30. Once you go to your first evaluation, you have a year to finish all three. I found it best to get all three done in a row. They don't have evaluation the last two weeks of August and the first week of September, the fields close for yearly maintenance.

I would recommend first going to the games on Saturday to see if you like what you see. We play at two different complexes, this season we are at Buffalo Glen Fields. This Saturday we play at 9:45 on Field #4. You can go and watch any games, they go from 8:30 to about 2pm every Saturday.

We have about 30 players in Tamarind Grove, but since we have two teams and about ten players are snowbirds, the roster changes season to season. Myself and one other player are the only ones to have played on the same team for Tamarind Grove all five seasons that we have been in existence.

Welcome - you didn't mention which villa community you are moving to in Tamarind Grove or if you're a softball player. In Southern Star Villas there is a furnished 3BR for sale on Nautilus Lane. I saw the listing is now 'Pending', it's three doors down from me. Is that that you're home? I walked through it during open house, the place looked brand new, I liked the hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining room. I also saw the 'Mirror Mate' in the master bath and it gave me the idea to put Mirror Mate in our bathrooms.
