The DC Thunder organization’s mission is to promote the continued physical, mental and moral development of young basketball players. We do this by using highly experienced volunteer coaches who take a disciplined approach to train our players on skill development, making effective decisions and good sportsmanship. Our training is built on a foundation of core values including hard work, personal responsibility, honesty, helping others, teamwork and respect. Through hard work and dedication in practice and their experience of failure and success in basketball games, our players grow to become better basketball players today and leaders in our communities tomorrow.
