NJ THUNDER IS A PERFORMANCE BASED CLUB
We are not a "pay-to-play" model. Thunder fees are for developing, training, and competing. Our only requirement is the desire to get better. Our training system and philosophies take seasoned players to the next level and transforms "first timers" into seasoned players. We seek dedicated players ready to prioritize softball entirely. This opportunity offers exceptional training, exposure, and competition for those willing to commit 100%, embrace rigorous training, and put in the extra work.
In addition to unlimited use of the facility for hitting, throwing, pitching, drilling, etc.., Thunder players can expect the following:
- 2 Team Practices (weekly)
- 1 Team Strength, Speed, & Agility Training (weekly)
- 1 Group Pitching Practice (weekly)
- 1 Group Catching Practice (weekly)

- Metric based tracking and evaluations (monthly)
