Starlings National Championships 2019
Each year, Starlings from all over the country flock to San Diego County to get to know their fellow Starlings and to test their skills against each other in our National Championships.
We would like to thank all of the teams who
traveled to this year's tournament, near or far!
We would also like to thank our partners for going above and beyond at this year's tournament.
The "She Breaks Barriers" campaign and female empowerment wall, the NCSA testing station, the customized tournament balls, and everything beyond that truly made the weekend unforgettable!
