Our approach

We believe that every player deserves a chance to meet their dreams! We believe that solid training fueled by passion can give the player a chance to be admitted to High School Team or Select Club team. In fact, 75% of our young athletes who participated in our Recreational program made High School Teams this year!

We want your child to succeed and we offer a program that challenges each player to do his or her best! We expect all players to join Thunderbolts to learn, advance, and achieve! We pride ourselves in solid foundation training of core skills of passing and serving, progressing to more advanced techniques of setting, hitting, and playing dedicated positions.

Our Recreational Program is tailored to players' levels to ensure steady growth of skills and confidence.

Rec League Participation is Tryout based but we do accept players for all skill levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced.

Fun Facts:

  • Our Core program is a rec/rec-competitive league that strives to provide a more competitive level of experience at an affordable cost.
  • After 3 years in operation, we have grown from 2 to 24 Teams in Rec Leagues!
  • We continue growing and are always looking for great Coaches! Please contact us at [email protected] to inquire about the opportunity! Coach's child uses our programs for free!
