Frequently Asked Questions

What activities do you currently have?

As of Spring 2023, we have weekly kickball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and tennis groups.

We also have a paddling group and run club that meet by scheduled events. We're looking to add volleyball and basketball to our schedule this year as well.

Do I have to pay anything to participate?

No! DQS is completely free to members and operates entirely off donations. If you’d like to donate to the organization, you can do so on our Paypal.

How do I sign up to play a sport?

You don’t need to sign up! You can show up as often or as little as you’d like at any point during the season. We just ask that you sign the waiver before participating in any DQS events, even if you plan to just watch.

What experience level do I have to be to participate?

You don’t need any experience to participate in any of the gatherings! We have a vast range of experience and skill levels amongst our community and everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. DQS makes it a priority to maintain a non-competitive, inclusive space for all.

Are there any non-sport playing activities to participate in?

Yes! DQS often puts together potlucks, cookie swaps, and group outings to the Durham Bulls games, NC Courage games, and other activities throughout the Triangle.

Are kids allowed to attend or participate?

Yes! Kids are welcome as long as they are attended by a legal guardian. Parents/guardians must understand that this is an adult space where things like physicality during game-play, language, and behavior will reflect as such.

Do the various sport gatherings happen every week?

Yes, with the exception of the paddling and running groups, the other DQS events are recurring and happen every week on the same day and at the same location and time unless circumstances require us to make a temporary change. Such changes will be conveyed through our various social media channels. You can check our schedule page for the latest up-to-date schedule of weekly gatherings.

How do I stay up to date on DQS information?

The best way to stay updated on DQS information and announcements is to follow our Instagram, join the Facebook group, and subscribe to our newsletter!
