Our Mission
Our mission is to teach, coach and expand the interest in volleyball for Philadelphia girls and boys. Our guiding principle has been to provide opportunities for these players to participate regardless of their socioeconomic background. Club dues are a fraction of most junior club costs, and no player is turned away because of inability to pay. We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that is part of a nationwide program serving some 3,000 players in 50-plus clubs across America, and a strategic partner with the School District of Philadelphia.
We value our player’s commitment to attend to all practices and tournaments, growth mindset that is ready to be lifelong learners, pledge to help teach and train our younger Starlings players, and resolve to compete. These are all traits we will strive for everyday that we step foot on the court as a Starlings volleyball player.
Our Girls Indoor Travel Teams
Join us for Philly Starlings Volleyball open gyms and tryouts this fall to meet our coaching staff and potential teammates. Players will be taken through a series of serving, passing, setting and hitting drills in addition to small group games and 6-on-6 scrimmages. Our Travel Teams are designated for our more advanced high school and middle school players with prior volleyball experience. We project to have a very competitive tryout this year with over 200 players competing for spots on our Indoor Travel Teams.
Our Indoor Youth Programs
Join our indoor Youth volleyball programs to learn volleyball fundamentals and meet new friends! Our coaches will teach you the basics of passing, setting, serving and hitting. Our philosophy is built around maximizing player reps and increasing court movement.
Our Girls Outdoor Programs
Join our Girls Outdoor Volleyball Programs to boost your summer training! Players are exposed to the outdoor game to maximize touches and develop all-around skills.
Our Boys Indoor Travel Teams
Join us for Philly Boys Volleyball open gyms and tryouts in October to meet our coaching staff and potential teammates. Players will be taken through a series of serving, passing, setting and hitting drills in addition to small group games and 6-on-6 scrimmages. We project to have a very competitive tryout this year with over 75 players competing for spots on our teams. Due to limited gym space and coaching constraints, we must make cuts at all age levels. While we are excited about the positive turnout, we will not be able to provide opportunities for every player attending tryouts.
