Introducing, the LoneStar Coaching Family

Madison Barr

Hello!  My name is Madison Barr, and I am currently finishing my last season at the University of North Texas. I was born outside of St. Louis, Missouri and shortly after moved to Southlake, Texas. I have lived in Texas for the past 11 years, and started playing volleyball as soon as I got to Texas!

I have been playing volleyball over 10 years and have trained in many different volleyball programs under many different coaches. I was the captain of my high school varsity volleyball team, played at Texas Advantage Volleyball Club and participated in USA High Performance programs. I have trained under multiple coaches while going to college camps and playing club volleyball, as well as at the collegiate level. At Eastern Illinois University, I played on an athletic scholarship before transferring to University of North Texas where I will graduate in December with a degree in Political Science.

My favorite club experience was competing for the finals my 17's year for the Junior Olympics under Ben Kubik. We were playing in the championships at the Lone Star qualifier, and our Libero's nose broke during the match when she and I collided. Despite her injury... it was our best passing game of the season and we ended up qualifying for nationals where we ended up 3rd place.  Iironically, she and I both made the all-tournament team. I learned the most about competing and teamwork that year and made some of the best friends that I still have today!

LoneStar Volleyball gives the same things to our athletes that I got out of my club experiences- teammates that became best friends, competitions that turn into memories and coaches that are life long mentors! Because 5 years from now, the wins and losses don't matter, only the lessons we learned and the people who made the journey with us remarkable! 

LoneStar Volleyball become my club family earlier this year when I joined the LoneStar 13s Freeman team as they trained for Nationals.  Over the summer, I've trained athletes in Academy, LoneStar Select, Skills and Circuit and in our summer camps.  I have really enjoyed working with the kids that have come through our program, and look forward to announcing my club team assignment very soon!
