A little bit About the club
It is hard to believe that Motherwell
Volleyball Club started out 45 years ago, basically when a team of sixth
year pupils in Our Lady's High School, along with a couple of members
of staff, entered (and won) the Lanarkshire District Volleyball League.At that time the club resisted the offer to join the National League a decision, in retrospect,which probably contributed to the club's longevity. A
series of name changes, thanks to sponsors (Alethia Travel, Whatco and
Redline) the club also enjoyed a new base and highly successful spell in
Taylor High School before returning 'home' to its origins in 1992.
Now as one of the oldest clubs in Scotland heads towards its 45th year,
there appears to be life in the old dog yet. An increase in members,
attracting a mixture of experienced players returning to the sport and
teenagers eager to develop their skills, was complemented with the club
finding a new sponsor.
Paintline now become the fifth company to back the club, with an original
set of colours to adorn the team's strips.

Without a doubt season 2023/24 was one of the most significant ones for the club for many years. A huge increase in membership, with players bringing a range of expereinces gained from within Scotland and abroad, allowed us to engage in a series of competitve matches and a new sponsor. For more detais and other news items from last season and throughout 2024/25 go to our Latest News page by clicking on the icon.
Over the last 44 years we have accumuated a lot of media material both in print and electronically.
A wide range of photographs from 1982 through to the present. A mixture of action shots combined with team photographs reminding us of all our members through the years and how some present ones have aged!
Best coverage of any volleyball club in Scotland bar none. Secret was the ability to promote the club with a continuity irrespective whether it was good or bad news and on more than one occasion the decline of another sponsor!
