In order to get the full essence of a high level game of volleyball, you have to watch a college level game. These are student athletes who balance school, practice, competitions, and sometimes a job. They have to use time management and prioritize carefully in order to meet their short-term and long-term goals. Some of these girls go on to play on the U.S. Olympic team which is the highest level of competition in the country.
We take our young Starlings to local games so that they see, feel, and experience the camraderie, excitement, and fast pace of college volleyball. In the Fall of 2008, we plan to take the girls to some of the following games in the Bay Area:

On Sunday, October 19th, we will be taking a bus down to Palo Alto to attend the televised game at Stanford vs. Cal. This will be done in conjunction with a Special "Friend-Raising" Campaign. It will be a day of fun from 9 am - 4:30 pm.
Bus seating and game tickets are limited so reserve your space now. If you plan to attend please contact Coach Young in advance.
