General Information

The Thunder Elementary Program will be fielding Minor National (ages 9-11) and Minor American (ages 7-9) teams for the 2022 Spring season. Practices and games will be held at Memorial Ashford Little League, 12900 Westmere Drive, Houston TX 77077.

The Elementary Program provides boys 7-11 years old the opportunity to hone existing and learn new skills under the direction of our wonderful coaches. While we do hold "tryouts" for these teams, it should be thought of more as an assessment that gives the parents a chance to evaluate if the Thunder is a good fit for them and vice versa. It should be thought of as a low stress way to get to know each other.

In the Spring season, all players will play in each game with playing time being fairly equal. The Elementary program is developmental in nature and we love to watch the boys learn while having loads of fun.

If you are interested in playing with the Thunder or have questions, please contact us at Info@WestHoustonThunder.org
