Why Thunder? The 5 Reasons We Are Different Than Other Clubs:

  1. ELITE COACHING STAFF

    We have one of the strongest coaching staffs in the region, with over 50 experienced high school and college coaches across our girls and boys programs. The know how to teach, communicate, and build the character you expect from a competitive team sport.
    Who coaches you kid is the question that matters most, and no one answers that questions better than we do.

  2. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT ABOVE ALL ELSE

    Club lacrosse isn’t about “chasing trophies” - it is about developing athletes to be their best. When development is done right, the wins follow.

    We schedule challenging competition to accelerate growth and maximize exposure. That is why 90% of Thunder athletes go on to play in college. They are prepared because we prioritize development - not shortcuts.

  3. #THE-MOST … MORE TRAINING - FOR LESS

    We offer #TheMost training of any club in the area. You get the full slate of fall, winter, and summer practices and tournaments — plus something no other club provides.

    We include nearly 30 fall/winter indoor skill‑development sessions at no additional cost. These sessions focus on individual improvement: dodging, shooting, footwork, lacrosse IQ, two‑man and team concepts, plus specialized goalie and faceoff training.

    No other club matches this volume, quality, or accessibility. If your athlete wants to improve faster than their peers, including those playing for other clubs, we give them that opportunity and at zero extra cost. It’s the best value in club lacrosse, period.

  4. 30+ YEARS OF PROVEN EXPERIENCE

    Since 1992, we have helped shape New Jersey into a national lacrosse hot bed. Many clubs have come and gone since then, often because they overpromised and underdelivered.

    We make one simple promise: we will develop your athlete to his or her fullest potential. Over three decades of refinement give Thunder athletes are real advantage.

  5. OUR #1 DIFFERENTIATOR … YOU ARE OUR BRAND

    Many other clubs invest in Marketing to build their athletes (i.e. “wear this brand and you are suddenly a good player”). We take a different approach, we invest in developing our athletes - no gimmicks.

    Our philosophy is simple: develop great players, and the brand builds itself. Your athlete comes first, always has, always will - and that is why Jersey Thunder continues to be recognized as one of the top programs on the East Coast.
