Compete and belong
Playing a team sport with friends and classmates builds camaraderie, develops physical skills, and is a lot of fun. At St. Therese, sports are a great way to get to know peers, try something new or refine current skills, and classmates support and cheer one another on.
Our league
St. Therese students in grades 4-8 compete in the South Side Youth Organization (SSYO) League with more than 20 other participating schools. The SSYO is made up of south metro parochial and non-public schools and offers competitive programs for boys and girls in a Christian atmosphere, where development of character and respect for all is emphasized just as much as athletic ability. All students are encouraged to participate regardless of skill, size or experience.
