The Junior Thunderbirds is organized as an amateur youth sports program exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and to foster national amateur athletic competition within the meaning of § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended).

The primary objective of the Junior Thunderbirds is to inspire youth with our core values, regardless of race, color or creed; which are:

• Build healthy minds and bodies;
• Develop skill and proficiency in sports and related activities;
• Teach the concepts of teamwork, sportsmanship (in victory and defeat), loyalty, honesty and pride;

What sets the Thunderbirds Apart from the other area youth teams?

Our football program is in its second year, all of our age divisions made it to the TYFA playoff circuit with all but our flag division advancing to the second round in 2007. While our Cheer team took 1st place at the 2007 TYFA Cheer Competition.

We provide our athletes with sports specific training help prevent injuries and develop proper muscle growth.
