Valley Thunder’s formal basketball season normally begins at the end of September or early October and continues through the East Coast Nationals tournament during the first full week of March. Valley Thunder offers middle school and high school teams for boys and girls. The teams compete against private schools and other homeschool organizations. The teams usually practice twice each week until the regular season begins at the end of November and then once per week thereafter. The teams play two to three games per week. Three game weeks are normally weeks that include double-headers on Saturday. In some weeks, the teams play on two weeknights, and, in some weeks, the teams play on a weeknight and on Saturday.

Valley Thunder also offers off-season basketball. This usually includes basketball camps for all ages and open gyms for middle school and high school. For 2024, Valley Thunder is working on plans to offer a developmental basketball league for younger and/or new to basketball youth beginning toward the end of spring or early summer.
