AQAC is the Astoria Queer Athletic Club, a monthly gathering at Astoria Park in Queens, offering a mix of instructional and casual sports activities for the queer community.

AQAC is open to FLINTA* individuals - including women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender people - and aims to foster connection, inclusivity, and physical well-being through shared athletic pursuits and good ol’ fun at the park.

The activities kick off with a one-hour clinic or group instruction, led by knowledgeable individuals. This initial hour is dedicated to teaching and refining skills in a specific sport or physical activity, ensuring that participants have the opportunity to learn something new or improve their existing abilities in a supportive setting.

Following the clinic, the second hour is self-guided, allowing participants to apply what they've learned, engage in casual play, or even try out other sports equipment brought by attendees. This flexibility encourages exploration and personal growth.
