Following on from the successful introduction of our Thunder Academy in 2024, and in conjunction with ASA, Thornleigh Thunder FC is looking to offer a comprehensive player development opportunity for our 2025 players from U6 – 18. As a club we are seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) in the opportunity to be a part of a Thornleigh Thunder Elite Development Squad run by ASA coaches.
Please note, the Thunder Academy (14-week skills program) and the Thornleigh Thunder Skills Training will continue to run and is separate to this initiative.
We are excited to offer the Elite Development Squads program, designed to provide young players with a dynamic team environment to accelerate both their football skills and confidence. This program serves as an excellent pathway for players aspiring to compete at representative levels or progress to our club’s Super League program in the future.
The ASA program, run by ex-professional Pasquale Polistina, who played in Europe, strives to offer quality academy training, based on principles of European Football, that gives young players an edge on the football pitch. ASA is dedicated to developing grassroots football in Australia by providing an environment where participants, regardless of level, can improve their individual and team skills through quality training whilst having fun.
