Hi everyone. I’m a college freshman and new to the sport. Loving it so far, but I want to go further with it. What else can I do other than just showing up to practice?

Recently joined my university's quadball team, I'm a female player and I was wondering if I should get men's football cleats or women's soccer cleats. I have wider feet and find that average womens shoes don't fit me well. I have joint issues so I would appreciate the ankle support from football cleats, but I have also read that they have clunkier spikes. Does it really matter if I get soccer vs. football cleats? Should I get football cleats for the ankle support to priortize my joints? Or should I get women's soccer cleats for mobility?

I've recently gotten into quadball and I was just using a drawstring bag for my equipment but I'm starting to outgrow it. I'm wondering what bags other players are using.

I understand that catching the snitch ends the game, and that it is possible, although rare, to catch the snitch and still lose if the team that catches the snitch is down by more than 150 points (quidditch world cup in book 4). What I don’t understand is why the seeker, knowing their team is down by more than 150 points, would snatch the snitch instead of defending the snitch so it’s not caught by the opposing seeker, until your team is within 150 points. Is it possible to secure the dub by reaching a certain point total?

Hey guys, what's your broomsticks made of?

Mrs Curry was my English and Media Studies teacher. Funny, quirky and firm supporter of Irish Unionism, so prettt quite sturn too. This started off small in our school, so its wild how big it is to me!

From an Irish lady in a small Welsh high school, to the entirity of the globe.

The brooms or sticks slow the game down, limit your hand freedom, look silly, and, most importantly, its an injury hazard. Should we drop the brooms?

Hi Quidditch players!!!!!

Just chatted with a friend and comedian who spent his time playing Quidditch at Macaulay Honors College in NYC. We chat about why he joined and how its not as nerdy as everyone thinks it is. We also go into internal team drama and i get roasted for judging the sport so badly.

Would love to get y'all's thoughts on it.

Here's the episode on YouTube

and here are links to listen to it basically anywhere else

This sub seems dead. Some sidebar links are broken. Has the real sport of Quidditch died out?

This refers to recent news of MQL and USQ announcing consultations with stakeholders to change the name of Quidditch (reasons are already stated)

Hi everyone ! What do y'all think about the name change started by USQ and MLQ ? Do you think the IQA and other NGBs will follow ? How much impact might this have on the sport in the US and elsewhere ?

In this interview, Alex Benepe has said that there are legal limitations due to Warner Bros. having copyright ownership. Does anybody know what exactly are all of the legal limitations?

So I play Keeper for our school, some of my strengths so far in our tournaments are running the fast break when we get possession + no beaters as well as decent shot blocking but generally speaking, I’m still clueless when I bring the Quaffle past mid court and they have bludger control and end up taking a bad shot from far away because if I pass it to a chaser they’re gonna get beat immediately but now I seem like a ballhog. And then defensively, there’s only so much I can do 1v1 when there’s no bludgers but I seem to have trouble stopping them here but I know I need to have more physicality. Any general tips? Also, any gym drills or workouts you think would most benefit Keepers? Thanks

I will be studying in the netherlands next year , any holland quidditch representatives?.
