2020-2021 SEASON
THESA Riders girls basketball offers competitive basketball for middle and high school aged girls.
Starting in the month of September we begin to form our teams and prepare for the 2020-2021 season. The season runs from November to early March.
We compete against area home school teams, private schools, and some public schools throughout the DFW area.  One of our program goals is to schedule a sufficient number of games (20-30) in a season to prepare us for the home school tournaments at the end of our season.
We participate in one of two home school tournaments that are at locations that require overnight stays (State tourney is 3 nights in Round Rock, TX / Nationals is 6 nights in Springfield, MO).
