Boathouse Volleyball Club will now be playing their home matches in a brand new venue, Thornhill Sports Centre. This is a new sports hall with a sprung wooden floor, built with money from the Big Lottery Fund. The sports hall is attached to the Community Science College at Thornhill (formerly Thornhill High School), but is also available for outside bookings through Dewsbury Sports Centre.

Boathouse will making links with the local schools, to develop the next generation of volleyball players. If you want to play volleyball, at whatever level contact us and come along to one of our training sessions. During the volleyball season (Sept - April), the men train at Thornhill on a Wednesday night and the women train in Brighouse on a Thursday night. There is an open session at the same venue and time as the women's training. Local league matches are played on a Sunday evening, at Thornhill. Shared transport to training and matches can usually be arranged, from almost anywhere in West Yorkshire.
