The THESA Riders organization is supporting the return of athletics for the 21-22 academic year and remains hopeful of a competitive season for our sports teams.

However, while THESA remains hopeful for a busy season of athletics, we also plan to recognize and follow the various protocols in place at gyms, athletic fields, and other venues.  Such protocols may include temperature checks, social distancing, masking, and limiting attendance at games, to name a few.      

To that note, we encourage all families to follow the precautions in place at these venues as well as other steps they may deem necessary to remain safe from any COVID concerns.    

If you are sick, stay home and get well. Common sense will go a long way!

Updates for Thesa teams can be found on this home page as well as on the specific Team page.  Tryouts for the various sports are held throughout the school year.  

Due to COVID-19, the 2021 annual THESA All-Sports banquet has been canceled.  We look forward to continuing this tradition of recognizing our outstanding athletes and teams in 2022.
