The Oceanside Starlings volleyball program is for young ladies that cannot afford to play in a regular USAV Junior Olympic program. We are a non-profit organization supporting North San Diego County.
In January 2008 we began with one team of nine girls ranging from 9th through 12th grade. This dynamic group of girls played their hearts out at every tournament and took 10th place out of 25 teams in the U18 division National Tournament. The two seniors from 2008 team are now attending college. The 2009 year brought great interest from girls in the community and our club grew to host 3 teams; U12, U16 and U18. We had one senior during the 2009 season and she is currently attending college. 2010 season brought us to 5 teams, 1 - U18, 1 - U16, 2 - U14 and 1 - U12 teams. May 2011 be just as exciting.
HISTORY OF STARLINGS VOLLEYBALL CLUB, USA
San Diego Starlings is the largest Junior Volleyball Club in the nation. We began with a single inner-city team in 1996. Starlings now serve over 2,500 girls in 38 clubs across the nations.
The guiding concept has been to provide an opportunity for girls (ages 10 to 18) to participate regardless of socioeconomic background. Club dues are a fraction of most Junior Club costs and no girl is turned away because of inability to pay.
The Starlings philosophy is a holistic one: competition is good but sports should also be fun. Finally, an athlete should seek to develop all her talents, and, for this reason, we proudly promote our annual Literary/Art Contest.
Since its inception, over 200 girls have received collegiate volleyball scholarships.
