​​​THE POTOMAC VALLEY THUNDER GIRLS BASKETBALL CLUB AKA PV Thunder

is a 501c(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization affiliated with the National Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and member of the Potomac Valley AAU region.


In the spring of 2012, PV Thunder was formed by joining young female athletes who resided in and around the Bethesda, MD and Washington, DC area. It provided girls the opportunity to develop advanced basketball skills and knowledge, and to play in a very competitive environment.  PV Thunder emphasizes player development starting in 3rd grade up through the high school years. Our approach contributed to the development of many top basketball players across the DC-MD-VA area.
