Thunder Road is an invitation to come on a volleyball adventure and be apart of something big for boys volleyball in New Jersey. New Jersey is home to 3 NCAA Men's division one volleyball programs, more than any other state besides California. Boys volleyball is here in the area and the time is now to grow the boys game. In time, Thunder Road will be the premier boys volleyball club in the area to go along with the growing number of boys programs in high school and college.
In our first year Thunder Road will focus on ages 15u to 13u teams and build for the future . Older or younger players are welcomed to train with us in our Academy Programs.
Thunder Road is quintessential classic rock and it implies New Jersey! Thunder Road VBC invites you to come play New Jersey Boys Volleyball.
