⚡🥎 The Thunder 10U team kicked off the fall season this weekend over in Coralville! The girls battled all weekend and finished 1-2, picking up their first win of the fall!

It was great to see the girls back on the field competing, learning, and having fun and bonding together. Plenty to build on as we get this season rolling!

Way to get the season started, girls! Keep working, keep battling, and keep getting better! 💪🥎

The Thunder 9U team concluded their season with a hard fought second place finish 🥈 at the Greene County tournament.

We extend our gratitude to the Rams for hosting a well-organized and efficient event. We look forward to participating again in the future!

Special appreciation is also extended to the Sundine, Soulli, McCoy, and Pederson 10U families for their assistance in filling crucial roles.

Although the outcome did not meet the team's expectations, the experience of competing in the championship has instilled a hunger for success in the players!

Way to go girls!
Coach Lydia, Mike and Brandon are very proud of your hard work! Bring on the fall!
