On the Rosters page are the players selected to continue training and competing for the 12U program. To ensure your position you need to register on Karelo before the Monday session.

We want to thank all players for their participation, regardless of whether they were selected.  It is very important for young players and parents to recognize that selection at this age is not easy.  We want to emphasize that players can change significantly in terms of their growth and development in the coming year(s).   Players also have had a wide range of volleyball experience and so finding ways to play and train more can be very important for future improvement.

As outlined at the last session we hope that all those that enjoy playing, and want to continue, will seek out additional training opportunities. We hope to have a spring Thunder program for Gr.4-6. Also look for information for Thunder and UBC camps as well the Richmond Oval training programs and  beach volleyball training,  among other opportunities.

Program B
A minimum of 2 players will be added to program A in the first two weeks, and other players will train with that group during the Monday sessions. If you are currently listed in program B and are later selected to join program A, you will provide a cheque for $75 to Thunder volleyball for the additional fees.

Additional Players
The following athletes are asked to come to the session on Monday February 13th and we will let them know of their position after that session.  Please email thundervball12@gmail.com to confirm your attendance. These additional players do not have pay for registration before Monday but please attend Monday’s session: Sarah Mowat, Jaclyn Miller, Anna Webster, Aishu Goyal, Sheetal Goyal

The U18 thunder storm started the season promisingly this weekend in the Season Opener at Harry Jerome.  The girls used a balanced attack and tough serving to work their way through pool play in convincing fashion without dropping a set, and sending a message that once again they will be a team to be reckoned with.

In the playoffs they endured and triumphed in a difficult semi final match with the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club before meeting the Coquitlam ducks in the final.  After four straight matches and 6 hours of volleyball the girls lost in a closely fought final.  Coaches and players were extremely pleased with the level of volleyball on display at various times during the day and are excited to continue to work to get better every week.
