Welcome to the Charlotte Starz Fast Pitch online, your complete source for information, photos, and more on one of Charlotte's premier tournament fastpitch softball organizations.

Now entering its seventh consecutive year, the Starz will feature three teams during the 2012 season, with more likely to come, including the Starz 10-U Gold, 14-U Purple, and the Starz Gold Showcase ball clubs. Each team possesses its own unique identity and players with a special blend of skills and talents while sharing the common vision of placing player development, character growth, and team success as their primary mission.

New this fall, the Starz are fielding their first showcase team – Coach Steve Foster's Starz Gold team.  This team will take advantage of our unique technology platform and five years of outstanding team success as the Starz strive to deliver a new and improved showcase experience for young ladies who aspire to play in college and are willing to work hard academically and athletically for the opportunity.

The Starz began as a single 8-U team formed in May, 2006 by President Ashley Davis with players from his highly-successful West Mecklenburg 9-U team. To this group, he skillfully blended talented players from several North Charlotte associations, including Huntersville (HYAA), Mallard Creek (MCAA), and Odell (ORSA). His goal was to create a hard-hitting team showcasing great team speed and solid defense which would be ready to compete in NSA, AAU, and ASA sanctioned tournaments throughout the region.

The Starz are eager to add teams in all age groups and would consider either a start-up team with the right coach or an existing team looking for the advantages available through our organization, including:

• Fully qualified tax-exempt 501(c)3 corporation
• Centralized accounting and banking
• Complete documentation to protect both the coaching staffs and players
• Standardized uniform and equipment packages
• Better access to players and facilities
• State-of-the-art website, complete with player and team statistics tracking
• The opportunity to roll the ball out there and go play

Starz teams are universally known for their sound fundamental defense and aggressive, opportunistic hitting. Our practices make use of traditional and cutting-edge individual and team drills devoted to basic diamond skills and concepts. Our players learn in a fast-paced, team-first environment where we strive to give them the skills, knowledge, and awareness to take their games to the highest levels. It's a fairly common sight to see our kids playing for championships on Sunday.

We invite you join us and watch our Starz come out and play!
