College, High School and Advanced Middle School Players

Join our summer outdoor grass doubles league to maximize your summer training! Players are exposed to the doubles game to maximize touches and develop all-around skills. Focal points include out-of-system hitting, increasing defensive range and expanding offensive repertoire.

The goal of the Advanced Doubles League is to create a pathway for players who have the fundamentals of volleyball to advance to a higher level of competition such as high school and/or club volleyball.

*Must be able to serve from the end line.

New High School & Middle School Players

Join our summer outdoor grass youth instructional program to learn volleyball fundamentals and meet new friends! Our coaches will teach you the basics of passing, setting, serving and hitting. Our outdoor program philosophy is built around maximizing player reps and increasing court movement.

PROGRAM FEES

Full program fee payments are due at the first practice. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. No players will be turned away because of inability to pay. However, every participant is expected to fund raise to help offset the costs incurred in our program. Cash, or checks payable to the “Philadelphia Starlings VBC” are acceptable forms of payment.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

All Philly Starlings Outdoor participants must fulfill a community service requirement that involves a Philadelphia Parks and Recreation event. If a player does not fulfill this requirement, they may become ineligible for any of our future teams and/or programs. Make up community service opportunities are available upon request.
