The Madison Starlings Volleyball Club has begun summer programming for youth on

the Northside as a recipient of the City of Madison’s Safe & Thriving Communities grant.

The Starlings provide volleyball instruction for children at Vera Court Neighborhood Center, Kennedy Heights Community Center, Northport Apartments, Packer Townhouses and during various community gatherings, along with teen Friday nights at Warner Park Community Recreation Center. Handouts with further information are available at these locations and at Lakeview Library.

The Madison Starlings are also available for Northside neighborhood events, block parties, or gatherings to introduce any age youth to volleyball. For more information, contact madisonstarlings@gmail.com.

The Madison Starlings Volleyball Club is committed to community service and developing pro-social leadership skills. Junior coaches participate in leadership training and club teams perform community service hours as part of membership. The Starlings will continue to offer volleyball events, instruction and playing on non-school dates during the school year.
