Our Program

U9-U12 Idaho Thunder Soccer Program

The program offers kids a higher level of individual and team soccer skills that will enable players to go as far as they wish with the sport. These skills are taught by qualified coaches who provide an environment conducive to mastery of the skills and pure enjoyment of the game. Equally as important, Thunder soccer teaches the kids character building life lessons.

While the Thunder FC soccer program is unique, the methodology is a proven one. Fashioned after the best European soccer programs, management has tailored the program to meet the needs of American youth.

Thunder FC wants its teams to win every single game, but unlike other programs, we will not compromise development in the process.

Our style of play is based on possession soccer regardless of the position of the ball within the field. This requires a high level of technical skill from every player. We challenge ALL our players to not just kick the ball, but to receive it and keep it away from the other team until an opportunity to score is realized. The reason we teach possession soccer is because it is the basis for building technical skills, which in the long run is the basis of creating good soccer players.

Environment is also very important in the development of good soccer players. We encourage players to take risks and be creative without fear of losing.

Thunder FC Soccer Program philosophy to success is based on:

• Development predicated on playing possession soccer, which requires highly technical skills

• Environment that is fun and encourages risk taking and creativity

• Recruit families that look at the big picture, and will not leave the club as their child improves.

We believe that our program provides the best possible environment for young soccer players to capitalize on the opportunities that the great game of soccer will offer.

Our goal is to provide the best developmental program for the youth soccer player in the area. Attend a training session, meet our coaches...you decide if we are accomplishing our goal.
