THUNDER 96
Elite
The beginnings:
In Spring of 2000 a team called Henry County U6 Rockets played in the Henry County Soccer Association's recreational
league. Their former coach Calvin Miller had resigned just recently. Due to his international travel commitments he was not able
to coach the team anymore. Persuaded by Calvin and other parents Juergen Mauer stepped in. He was not just another parent coach. He brought
in great experience from his playing and coaching career in Germany.
Under his guidance the "Rockets" became HC Real a name the boys
choose to document their passion and their dreams maybe sometime to be as good as their idols from famous Real Madrid. Ultimately HC
Real evolved into a cristallization point for the Thunder 96 of the Academy years.
