Thunder is our competitive program for Arizona Soccer Club which includes our 2005-2013  birth years for boys and girls. 

Thunder's programs are designed to offer each level of player an opportunity to learn and compete while focusing on the overall development of the total player. Our goal is to develop and give each player the tools to thrive at the next level using their knowledge of systems of play, positions, and game concepts using the number system.

The Thunder style of play is possession and transition and is represented at all ages throughout the club. We desire our kids to understand the attacking and defensive principles of the game while also having the technical ability to influence games individually. We will provide opportunities to promote healthy living, good sportsmanship,and leadership skills

The club will develop individual players in the four pillars of the game:

• Technical: A player’s individual technique on the ball and how it is applied to the demands of the game will be our focus.
• Tactical: Each player will be evaluated on how they carry out their individual and team tactics during the course of a game. More specifically how they adapt and adjust to the demands of the game.
• Physical: Each player will be evaluated by his or her speed/agility, strength/power, recovery and overall game fitness.
• Psychological: Each player will be observed on his or her soccer attitude on and off the field. i.e., preparation, motivation, emotions and wiliness to play and try different positions.

Arizona Soccer Club is looking for players that possess a combination of these components and more importantly how they apply these components to the demands of the game.
