The goal of the St. Therese Athletic Department is to build a program that members of all ages can support with pride and bring us closer within our immediate church community, while allowing our adult and youth teams to represent St. Therese in a competitive Christian manner that all can be proud of. Our program emphasizes faith-based character and conduct, achievement in athletics, confidence building, leadership skills and respect for teammates and opponents.

Come out and play the fastest growing sport in the US - Pickleball!
Thursdays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Parish Life Center. Games will be played every Thursday starting January 13th through the end of March.
We will have three courts to host open pickle ball doubles games. If you are experienced or this is your first time, come out and play. Nets, paddles and balls will be provided. This is a great way to enjoy some fellowship with friends and meet some new friends! If you have any questions send them to robiningols@gmail.com
All games are at Mazeppa Park in Mooresville and the first games are predicted to start in early April. We will know more as that date approaches.
In the interim, we will have multiple practices which will start in late February.
Requirements to play:
1. You must be at least eighteen years old (this is a Mooresville Recreation Department requirement)
2. You must fill out the registration and indemnity forms online below. If this is not possible, it can be done at our first practice.
Registration is now CLOSED
Players will be contacted by their head coach once registration has closed. There will also be an open meeting to address any questions on Wednesday, February 16 at the church.
Teams will be capped at sixteen players. If we have multiple teams, we will assign players to a particular team once registration is closed.
The cost to play will be determined once we know how many players we have signed up. Last year, the cost averaged $60 per player. This may slightly fluctuate based on the number of players and which shirts are purchased.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Question: What days of the week and time(s) do we play?
Answer: The women's team(s) play on Mondays and the Men's team(s) play on Tuesday or Thursday each week. Games start as early as 6:30pm and as late as 8:30pm and are one hour in length. We play the same team twice. All games are at Mazeppa Park in Mooresville.
Question: What if I cannot make every game?
Answer: Just play the games that you can. We intentionally have a surplus of players on each team to accommodate for any absences.
Question: What if I am not a very good player?
Answer: We welcome all players regardless of skill level. Many of our previous year's players haven't played in decades. We have also previously had players in their seventies playing on our teams.
Question: What special equipment do I need?
Answer: We will provide you with a shirt to wear for the games. The other attire is up to you. You will need a glove. Each team will have bats to share, but you can bring your own. Bats need to be approved for use prior to the games. This can be done at the field.
