Thunder Basketball Club was initially founded in 1961. The organization was created with an agreement between Delaney Michaelson and John Doe.
With the years we were growing and in 1992 we have started the first female basketball team. We have expanded the horizons and now we are constantly training players for junior and college leagues. Thunder Basketball Club is now one of the largest clubs in the Southeast with over 40 Teams.
We strive for excellence in basketball and as a meaningful community organization, improving the future for our local youth. We value our people and motivate them to have fun, develop and respect themselves and others.
The coaches value and respect each player and take an interest in the player's development in basketball and as a person. The coaches expect several characteristics from players, including effort, commitment to attend practice and games, and utmost respect for coaches, referees, parents, teammates and themselves.

Everyone wants to be on a winning team, but no one wants to come to practice. One more thing you should always remember is that you don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.
