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. 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.
We invite volleyball players from the Charlotte, North Carolina Metrolina area and surrounding counties (e.g., Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Iredell, York, Lancaster).
QCS Tournament Schedule 2023-2024 Season
QCS will be traveling to Baltimore, MD to compete in the JVA Charm City Challenge. We are looking forward to what's next. Hopefully, we can enjoy some good seafood at the Inner Harbor while we're there.
QCS competed in the AAU Rally Challenge in Cartersville, GA on Jan 20-21. We had three teams to finish in the Gold bracket and two teams in the Silver bracket. Several of the players also got the opportunity to watch the new Atlanta Vibe Women's Professional Volleyball team practice, as well as meet & greet with some photo ops . Check out our social media to view those pics. We're pushing to be better with each competition. Also, check out other events sponsored by Rally Volleyball.
QCS kicked off the season at the Icebreaker in Spartanburg, SC on Jan 6-7. After a challenging start on the first day, the Queens shook off the jitters and brought home three medals. Congratulations to all of our teams!
