Welcome to THESA softball

THESA Softball provides home-educated athletes the opportunity to play competitive fastpitch softball in a Christ-centered, team-focused environment. Our program offers Junior Varsity and Varsity teams for girls in grades 7–12. We welcome both homeschool students and private school students whose schools do not offer softball.

We strive to build excellence on the field while also developing leadership, sportsmanship, and character off the field. Players grow in their skills, confidence, and teamwork as part of a close-knit community.

2026 Softball Sponsors

THESA is a nonprofit sports league providing competitive athletic opportunities to homeschool students in DFW. Our mission is to empower young athletes through sports, teaching teamwork, leadership, perseverance, and excellence—both on and off the field.

As homeschool families, we fund much of our sports experience personally, but we can't do it alone.

Sponsorships help cover critical expenses like uniforms, field rentals, travel, and scholarships for students who need financial support.

We’re asking for your help to invest in our young athletes’ futures! Whether you sponsor at a major level or make a general donation, every contribution makes a big impact!
