With Beater tryouts complete and an hour break taken, the Flying instructor was, needless to say, ready to carry on with the next tryout session. The man was interested to see how much of the student body would arrive, considering there were plenty of Chaser positions available. The fact that all of the Houses would be trying out for their respective teams was sure to make things interesting as well.

The sight of the first students brought that charming smile of his back onto his face. Greetings and formalities were to be taken care of once again. Those were never going to end, were they?

"Mornin'," Colin responded to Calrissian, Allanach-Senchuri, Kowalski, Anderson-Belfort (who did get a bit of a raised brow once the boy's greeting was heard), Newton, Meriwether, and Gladin when they each addressed him. He still wasn't getting used to being called 'professor,' regardless of the number of times that title had been spoken. The man gave Sinclair and Keller a simple head nod as a greeting, and both Abara and Roberts (hello again, ladies) received nods as well.

"Right then, let's get on with it, shall we?" he addressed them all the moment the four Captains arrived on the pitch. "As ye can see, we've got a pretty large group of people trying out fer Chaser from all four Houses, but don't be worried abou' that as ye'll have plenty of opportunities to show off yer stuff."

"Now," the man carried on, giving his wand a wave as a sack containing a number of Quaffles appeared. "As ye all know, yer job as a Chaser is to control the Quaffle and get it through the hoops at the end of the pitch. Yer job is to do just that, but ye also need to show that ye can get the Quaffle from someone's grasp and also work with others by passing the ball. All of this needs to be showing within the hour."

They were following what he told them so far, yes? He sure hoped so.

"The pitch will be divided into two sections. The majority of the pitch will be used by ye all to show how well ye can pass in addition to gaining control of the Quaffle, whether you intercept a pass or literally take the ball from someone's grasp. There'll be a number of dummies flying about, so your goal is to keep from from getting possession of the Quaffles that I will be releasing. The ends of the pitch will be a different section, where ye will face a dummy who will be defending the hoops and trying to prevent you from scoring. Ye will need to attempt both sections during the tryout 'til it's time to grab a bite in the Great Hall, and ye may do each section as many times as ye like in whatever order pleases ye."

Were there any questions? If there were none, now was the time for everyone to mount their brooms and get in the air.

OOC: Hello, Chaser candidates! Welcome to your tryout session, and thank you for joining us! Colin and I are so pleased that you are here. For those of you who are interested in tryout out but have yet to post, feel free to join us at your earliest convenience. Don't forget to fill out the Quidditch Tryout form. This does need to be completed before tryouts end on May 18th in order to be considered for the House Quidditch team.

For the Chaser tryouts, your character will need to 1) keep the dummies from getting possession of the Quaffle -- 3 different Quaffles will be released, so feel free to pass, intercept, tackle, etc. as you please and 2) make some shots at the goal hoops that will have a dummy defending each set of hoops. Throughout the tryout, you will be interacting with each other as well as The Narrator account. The Narrator will inform you if a dummy has gotten control of one of the three Quaffles flying about, if a dummy prevented your character from scoring, etc. Feel free to pass on your own; just please pay attention to each other's posts. This is all very open-ended, so let's have some fun with this! ^___^

To help keep things clear, please indicate one of the following in the title of each post you make during the tryout: Hoop #1 or Hoop #2 when doing the shooting portion of the tryout; Quaffle #1, Quaffle #2, or Quaffle #3 if passing, intercepting, etc. in the main area of the pitch with each other and the dummies.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to address them to Colin IC or myself OOC.
