The Colorado Thunderbirds are happy to announce that our Thunderbirds Midget Early Identification Camp will be April 14-15, 2023, at Family Sports and/or South Suburban Sports Complex.   We do encourage all midget-aged players interested in playing on one of our future Thunderbirds teams to attend the camp.  Attendance will help our evaluation and allow the staff to gain some familiarity with the players and families of future Thunderbirds candidates.  We also offer our Midget Pre-Tryout Skates from April 4 thru May 11 for other training opportunities.


The Thunderbirds program is a big commitment, and the families and players spend a lot of time together.  The Early Identification Camp and Midget Pre-Tryout Skates are voluntary, not mandatory, but are highly recommended.  It helps the coaching staff to have some type of relationship and history with the players prior to the main tryouts from May 12-14.  This will allow our coaching staff a better way to help identify future Thunderbirds players/families that will blend and mesh into a successful team family.


Please register online according to your birth year, but the Thunderbirds staff reserves the right to move players between evaluation sessions.  It is recommended that players who are interested should register early.  Space is limited.   Camp fee is non-refundable.


The main tryout camp for the Colorado Thunderbirds 15U, 16U, and 18U teams are scheduled for May 12-14, 2023, at Family Sports and/or South Suburban Sports Complex.  Tryout registration information is available online.
