How to Play

Much like its Harry Potter counterpart, quidditch is a co-ed sport where Chasers score with the Quaffle, Beaters strengthen the offense and defense, Keepers protect the hoops, and Seekers end the game. Even though we are stuck on the ground like normal athletes, we do have “brooms” in the form of custom PVC pipes that we must keep between our thighs while playing. Listed below are the four positions you can choose to play, and don’t worry, you can play around with each position until you find the right fit. And if you have any questions feel free to contact us, we are more than happy to help out!   

CHASER

Each team has 3 chasers on the field at all times. Wearing white headbands, their main objective is to put the quaffle (or better known as “a volleyball” to muggles) through one of three hoops. 

 

BEATER

Both teams have 2 beaters on the field at all times wearing black headbands. With 3 bludgers (or “dodge balls”) their goal is to defend the hoops as well as assist the other players by throwing balls at the other team. If hit with a dodge ball, you must tag back in at your hoops. 

 

KEEPER

Each team has 1 keeper wearing a green headband. The keeper’s job is to protect their hoops as well as assist in quaffle play. Keepers are safe from bludgers in their zone.

 

 

SEEKER

At the end of the first 18 minutes of play, both teams release 1 seeker. Wearing gold headbands, their job is to pull the tail off the snitch (a muggle wearing gold shorts with a velcro tail) to get points and end the game.
