About Us
THE Oakland Volleyball Program (formerly Starlings Oakland)
Our volleyball program has been around for over 25 years, and the only change for 2024 is our name. We have the same commitment to providing volleyball programming to inner-city girls who would otherwise not have the opportunity to participate in club volleyball at the Junior Olympic level.
We provide an affordable volleyball program and we primarily serve youth attending school in Oakland. We have partnered with Oakland Athletic League (OAL) to provide resources and increase participation and grow the sport of volleyball. Our season generally runs from January to June, competing in the Northern California Volleyball Association (NCVA) of USA Volleyball (USAV).
Come Check Us Out!
In November, we offer skills & drills clinics for players to come out and demonstrate their abilities. Players get to show us their commitment to learn about The Oakland Volleyball Program and the opportunity to play club volleyball at the Junior Olympic level.
The NCVA/USAV full youth membership is approximately $77, and allows participation in sanctioned tryouts, activities, and team competitions. Additionally, our club fees are approximately $2000 putting our program costs at less than half the cost of most other clubs. Subsidized financial assistance available and we also offer affordable skills clinics during the summer.

Our Program
The Oakland Volleyball Program is made up of dedicated professionals and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in our volleyball community. Most club volleyball teams that provide similar services for the full six-month club season, have fees that range from $4,000 to $8,000. Our fees are significantly less and based on income $850 to $2100. Also, we exclude no girl due to financial hardship.
