Dripping Springs Sports Club is expanding fitness facilities in the Dripping Springs area.

Local founder and CEO Drew Rose, along with the DSSC team and the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 2 to celebrate the opening of Dripping Springs Sports Club Warehouse.

The big picture: The warehouse is just a few miles down the road from the DSSC Flex facility that opened last fall.

The facility offers:

• Volleyball courts

• Basketball courts

• A weight room

In case you missed it: The Warehouse and the Flex facilities are designed to help bridge the gap for sports access while the flagship facility is being developed. Rose said the flagship facility is slated to open in Headwaters in 2028. The 150,000-square-foot facility will include pickleball courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a cafe and recreational areas, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

The DSSC team is also offering a summer sports camp called Camp Elevate.

• Opened in March

• 15113 Fitzhugh Road, Ste. 1400, Austin

Starting April 1, Texas families will be able to apply for an out-of-district transfer to Dripping Springs ISD.

• Reside in Texas
• Complete the Out-of-District General Transfer Request Application
• Pay a $150 administrative fee per family
• Have fewer than eight absences in the current and prior academic year
• Meet the academic requirements
• Meet the disciplinary requirements

A recent Austin Community Court pilot program helped hundreds of people address outstanding cases or warrants at city courts.

Austin's "problem-solving" community court largely handles cases involving homeless clients, and also offers several related services from case management to personal storage. The recent pilot—labeled the Court Navigation Training mini-grant program—stemmed from past City Council direction seeking to build on the court's expanded reach by partnering with local organizations on services and outreach.

The program was aimed at training more case managers and staff from those groups to help individuals connect with court services, according to the city. Over a dozen $2,500 grants were distributed to participants in the court's navigation training. After taking applications last summer, the city offered training in mid-September that led to hundreds of clients having their cases surfaced late last year.
