Our approach

We believe that every player deserves a chance to meet their dreams! 

We want your athlete to succeed and we offer the program that challenges each player to do her best! We expect all players join Thunderbolts to learn and advance! Each player learns not only the core position she is assigned but also other positions to be able to fill in and gain confidence. We care that our players are all-around players wherever possible so the gates of opportunities will open up for them.

We also love playing challenging games and expect all players to pull their weight no matter the circumstance. A driven, can-do attitude combined with discipline and hard work during practice is a recipe for success!

To build strong teams we offer team-building events, especially at the beginning of the season: sand volleyball tourneys (fun, against parents or other teams, including our own Rec teams), Rec Hall in St. Charles, Dogwood Social House, and other events as creatively built by coaches and parents. We want the girls to click and work as a team of friends who care for one another and each other's success.
