Inaugurated with the 2002 season, 8-person football games on the Lower Field have become a treasured community event each fall. . Beginning with an 8-2 record and a CIF quarterfinal appearance that first year, the program has remained a force in the sport, with regular appearances in the postseason, including three CIF Championship game appearances. Scores of Thacher players have been honored with All-CIF selections over the years, and two have been named Offensive Player of the Year.

While our focus is to provide a powerful and rewarding team experience for all who choose to participate, we are very proud of the success many of our alumni have had playing college football. Former Thacher players have also gone on to compete at a number of highly competitive universities, including Whittier College, Bowdoin College, Pitzer College, Colgate University, Princeton University, MIT, the University of the South (Sewanee), LaVerne University, Hamilton College, Pitzer College, Williams College, and Middlebury College.

More significant than the individual and team distinctions: every year that Thacher has fielded a team, players at every level of experience and skill have shared rich and rewarding experiences and learned lessons about teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship on the football field at Thacher.
