ALL NWI Thunder players in grades 7th and up (ONLY) must complete the NCAA registration process to compete in ANY NCAA certified event. This must be updated every year. This is NOT the same as registering for our NWI Thunder program which is required for ALL players regardless of grade. All girls in grades 7th and older, CLICK THE LINK ABOVE THAT SAYS NCAA REGISTRATION→ This process takes only a few minutes to do. There is a short video that must be viewed. PLEASE make sure you check the box that says you have watched this, and ALSO complete ALL school information, including phone numbers. I will be checking the NCAA site for completion, and you will be added to our NCAA rosters accordingly. After I have done this, you will get an e-mail to the address you have entered inviting you to be added. You MUST confirm this or you will not be permitted to play. Any non-registered players are forbidden to play in NCAA events, so please do not delay in getting this done. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks!

NWI Thunder is a non-profit based program focused on developing players, honing skills, and preparing girls for elementary, middle and high school basketball programs, and beyond. Our coaches are 100% volunteer, and all of their time and energy is focused exclusively on the players. The primary objective of the program is to expand the skill set of all the girls for the next level of play, including those with college aspirations. We currently have a fabulous group of players and families, and have grown each season based on additions from word of mouth, and the success many of our girls have had beyond their HS basketball careers. We are open to all girls from 4th grade up who have some basketball experience.
Please note that while we fully expect the girls to grow and develop their skills through our program, it is probably not a good fit for a beginner with minimal basketball experience. This is especially true for all players in grades 7th - HS, as the competition levels are much higher as the girls get older.
