Michigan Thunder Soccer Academy - Winter


Community Ed Programming / Youth Recreation and Sports -
Winter 2026

ALL CLASSES ARE HELD AT THE WYLIE GYM IN DEXTER

Little Bolts ages 3-5. Our Little Bolts program aims to develop soccer specific skills such as basic motor skills, balance, coordination, foot-eye coordination, and ball skills. Little Bolts build strong fundamental foundations for physical skills, teamwork and inspires confidence at a young age in a successful atmosphere where learning is fun. It also gives the players the opportunity to play soccer, learn new skills and have an enjoyable sporting experience all while making new friends. A professional coaching staff will deliver this high-energy experience. Our goal is to provide a perfect introduction to the game of soccer while focusing on independence and enhancing your child’s overall growth and well-being. You will see happy, confident children who are eager to learn and come back for more. Five-year-olds have the option of registering for Little Bolts or Strikers. If you're unsure as to which program is best for your participant, we suggest you register for Little Bolts and talk with the coaches at the conclusion of the first practice.

Strikers ages 5 -10. Our Thunder Strikers program is designed to support and guide emerging young soccer players and parents into a formalized, structured and developmental soccer environment. The goal is to provide technical training for ALL players who have a strong desire to develop their technical skill level, increase their knowledge and foster a love for the game of soccer. The training will focus on developing technical skills including first touch, dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting and attacking moves. The Thunder Strikers program places a strong emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship and the skills that are vital components of competitive soccer and transferable skills to life. Thunder Strikers program includes one weekday evening practice and a one-hour Saturday program (either 10a or 11a). Coach Myint will reach out to let you know your assigned time.

Shirts: Shirt purchasing is not offered during the winter term.

What to Bring: Bolts and Strikers should wear shin guards, sneakers, or soccer shoes (during outdoor season), bring a water bottle and a size 3 or 4 soccer ball to all sessions.
