We understand that some players will continue to improve over their school season. Therefore, we will also hold a post-high school season tryout session on October 20 at 4:15 pm.

In the spirit of fair play, athletes’ best interests, and collaboration with other like-minded clubs in the Carolina Region, we pledge to conduct open and fair tryouts on a cooperative timeline. Furthermore, our tryout process will be conducted with integrity to enable every athlete the opportunity to earn any spot on any team in our club. Stated another way, this means no players are pre-offered spots on a team in our club before the published open tryout dates promoted by our club. We also pledge to honor the Carolina Region Athlete’s Bill of Rights and will not subject any athlete or their family to unethical, coercive, manipulative, or other such pressure tactics to secure a team/club commitment.

Queen City Starlings Welcomes You!

Queen City Starlings is a non-profit volleyball program that offers all athletes the opportunity to play at the club level. Volleyball in the Charlotte, North Carolina area is very competitive. Our focus is to give underrepresented athletes the chance to compete. Underrepresented means that you may be at a disadvantage due to your socioeconomic status. Junior club volleyball dues continue to increase, reducing the ability of economically challenged athletes to be able to participate. Starlings club dues are dramatically minimized to offer the opportunity to athletes from all communities. We play at the same competitive level and at the same tournaments as other local clubs.

Our mission is to diversity the sport of volleyball by offering athletes from ALL communities an opportunity to play at the club level, regardless of socioeconomic background.

Come join our team! Our focus is to eliminate the politics and concentrate on making the player the best they can be in competitive play. Queen City Starlings may be the place for you.

We invite volleyball players from the Charlotte, North Carolina Metrolina area and surrounding counties (e.g., Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Iredell, York, Lancaster).
