The Springfield Soccer Club provides a challenging program for boys and girls that desire to play soccer at a more competitive and challenging level.  Our Club is a member in good standing of the Miami Valley Youth Soccer Association, Ohio South Youth Soccer Association, US Youth Soccer, the United States Soccer Federation and the FIFA (the governing body for world soccer). .  Being a player on a select soccer team requires dedication and commitment from the player and the parents.  To compete at the select level requires practice several nights a week and practice at home to improve players ball skills.  . The club has employed a professional trainer to conduct sessions with each team. Our club's Board Members and Coaches are hard working volunteers who commit a great deal of time to ensure the success of our soccer club.  Our primary objectives are to promote soccer in the Springfield area, develop players for the area's high school soccer programs, and of course have lots of fun.

Springfield Thunder is organized and managed by a staff of elected volunteer officers.

UNIFORMS

PLAYING SEASONS

Our teams compete in both Fall and Spring Soccer Leagues. Each season consists of 8 games of which 4 are home and 4 are away.  Fall season practices start around the first of August with games starting in the last half of August and continuing through October.  Spring Season begins around the beginning of March weather permitting and the game schedule begins in late March and runs through May. Teams may compete in tournaments before, during, or after the season.  The number of tournaments a team plays in is dependent upon the coaching staff, parents, and over all team ability.

PLAYER FEES

PARENT PARTICIPATION

Springfield Thunder Soccer Club is a family commitment.  The players and coaches need your positive support.  Each team will select a parent as a Team Representative.  Team Representatives assist their coach administratively and represent their team at Board of Directors meetings. Our club officers are selected from this group of Team Reps.  The success of our annual Springfield of Dreams Charity Cup which is a major club fund raiser requires the help of all club members.
