OUR VISION

About THESA

THESA (The Homeschool Educational Sports Association) exists to provide homeschool athletes in the Fort Worth area with competitive, Christ-centered athletic opportunities that build character, leadership, and a lifelong love of sports.

We believe that athletics are more than games—they are a platform to teach discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and integrity. Every practice, match, and competition is an opportunity to grow as an athlete, a leader, and a follower of Christ. Our programs are designed to help young men and women develop strong bodies, sharp minds, and hearts that reflect God’s love.

CULTIVATE CHRIST-LIKE CHARACTER

OUR MISSION

THESA exists to glorify God through homeschool athletics by offering programs that challenge athletes to excel in skill, character, and teamwork, while nurturing faith and community.

Conflict Resolution Procedure

At THESA, we follow the Matthew 18 principle for resolving conflict. Please use the following steps in order:

  1. Go directly to the person involved (coach, player, or parent) in a respectful, reconciling manner.

    • Note: concerns about playing time will not be discussed.

  2. If unresolved, request a meeting with the person involved and the coach.

  3. If still unresolved, request a meeting with a board representative, along with the player and coach.

  4. If the conflict is with a coach:

    • First, the player should speak personally with the coach.

    • If unresolved, request a meeting including the player, parents, and coach.

    • If still unresolved, request a meeting with a board representative.

  5. Requesting a board meeting:

    • After all prior steps have been completed, meetings may be requested by emailing admin@thesariders.com.

We value your commitment to handling concerns with grace, respect, and a spirit of reconciliation.
