The Ruth Gorse Academy and Leeds Gorse Volleyball Club have had a long-standing partnership sparked by former PE teacher and volleyball player, Ruth Gorse. In her memory, the Academy promotes and teaches volleyball, and has been LGVC's home facility since 2016.
The GORSE Volleyball Club

Volleyball has now been added to 'The Big Three' sports in the new GORSE Gets Healthy programme across The GORSE Academies Trust. Specialist coaches actively teach and develop students' volleyball skills. They run extra-curricular volleyball clubs, coach respective academy teams for the GORSE Volleyball League, and recruit top performing students to join appropriate competitive junior teams.
England Men's and Women's National Teams

The National Squads often collaborate with Leeds GORSE Volleyball Club on several occasions throughout the year. The teams use the club's facilities, and invite club members to watch training sessions. Throughout these training camps, the national teams host junior training sessions for TGVC and LGVC juniors.
University of Leeds Volleyball Club
