U13 Thunderbolts
Team Details
Managers: Jonathan Driver and Julian Evans
Home pitch location: Main Green, Martlesham Heath
The Thunderbolts are a team of local children coached and well
supported by parents. We play in the South Suffolk league (if you use the links below you can see how well we have been
doing).
As a team we take a proud stance on building teamwork and focus heavily on fair play. When developing a team of children at this
age we believe that it is important to encourage all the youngsters to take part and help them learn and improve with their peers.
That does not mean that we are not competitive, anyone with a child of this age will truly understand that football can be
the centre of his or her universe. With four coaches we are in a unique position, our team benefit from a range of coaching styles
that, together, compliment each other to provide a well-rounded experience for the team. We encourage mixed abilities and provide a
supportive experience for these youngsters.
The coaches, trained to Football Association standards, stay with the same group as they advance in age (because our own children
are in the teams). As they get older our plan is to develop skills, awareness and competitiveness.
As a coaching team we often receive compliments from the parents of other teams on our style and approach to games.
At this age it is not all about winning - mind you we do like to win!
