Our Story

Built in Richmond

The VA Starz are a non-profit, family-run semi-pro football organization in Richmond, Virginia. The Starz were created to give men a chance to keep playing the game they love and the opportunity to take their skills to the next level.

But it's more than football. It's family, on and off the field. The Starz live by the motto We all we got, we all we need, and by four words: family, respect, loyalty, and discipline.

The 2026 Championship Run

The Starz opened 2026 with a one-point battle against the Virginia Royals, picked up their first win over the Gardenville Packers, and went toe to toe with the Richmond Jets, the ECFA 1A champions, in a 34-34 shootout. They finished the regular season 3-2-1 and got hot at the right time.

On June 27, 2026, in Midlothian, the Starz met the unbeaten VA Beast (8-0) in the ECFA 2A Championship and handed them their only loss of the year. The VA Starz are the 2026 ECFA 2A champions.

Offensive MVP

Congratulations to Keano Tharrington, the Starz' 2026 Offensive MVP. And the defensive MVP? The entire Starz defense.

Same Team. Same Standard.

Stability isn't a trend. The Starz have been the same since the start, and they keep building on that legacy. Built different. Still here. Still us. Still Starz.

Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't. That's the mindset every Star brings to practice, to game day, and to life off the field.
