SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Tryouts for club season will start in October 22, 29 November 5, 12, & 19. Tryouts are for those interested in a Local, Travel, or Elite team only. Starlings, USA national office administers 36 member clubs in the U.S. and researches additional communities in which to form new clubs. Clubs are comprised of Starlings for girls ages 14 - 18, Junior Starlings for middle school girls and Little Starlings for elementary girls beginning at age 9. The clubs provide opportunities for girls to train and compete on a par with the USA Volleyball's Jr. Olympic level. The clubs also serve as a medium through which to provide educational information regarding health, substance abuse, academics, violence against women and girl empowerment. Starlings believes in the power of education and the social, physical, and emotional benefits to be gained by girls who participate in structured sports. Role models for girls in sports along with adult and peer mentoring to educate, encourage and promote positive lifestyle choices is a fundamental premise of the Starlings programs. We sponsor a number of specific programs and events that are sports based and girl empowering. See our website at www.starlings.org.
