Isa had been out on the quidditch pitch long before the scheduled Hufflepuff team tryout time so she could set up. It was strange, thinking that she was captain of the first Hufflepuff quidditch team in eleven years. This wasn’t just any team, it was her team. She didn’t have as much match experience as Skylar, but that wasn’t going to stop Isa from trying. Since getting the badge, Isa had been busy strategizing and planning for the team, and Derf’s notes were a lot of help too.
Four stations had been set up for the Hufflepuff tryouts. There was an agility course of sorts with signs posted of which way to turn to test basic flying abilities and broom control. Chasers would be throwing the quaffle through the hoops, while keepers would be blocking the quaffle. Beaters would be practicing hitting bludgers at targets, some of which were charmed to move for an extra challenge. Those trying out for seeker would be tasked with chasing and catching the snitch.
With everything set up, Isa mounted her new Firebolt X-treme her parents had bought her for being selected as quidditch captain and flew a few warm up laps around the pitch. Spotting her first candidate for the team, Isa descended and dismounted her broomstick. ”Hi Daisy! What position are you trying out for? We’ll be getting started once more people show up.” Would there be a good turnout for tryouts? Isa knew Derf would be coming, and hopefully there would be many more Hufflepuffs trying out. At the back of Isa’s mind she was worrying that no one would show up for tryouts and the team would be a horrible failure. However, Daisy was already here which made Isa confident that more Hufflepuffs would show up, and Isa knew she could build a strong team with Derf at her side supporting her.
OOC: Welcome to the Hufflepuff quidditch tryouts! Tryouts will be starting here soon. Please remember to also fill out the survey!
