Recreational and Youth Quidditch


Recreational Quidditch has two parts in the ministry:

Quidditch Camp:

Quidditch camp is an exciting annual summer event held in July, where professional Quidditch players gather for a week to mentor and train the younger generation. Designed for children and teenagers aged 5 to 17, the camp caters to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. Participants engage in a variety of activities aimed at enhancing their Quidditch abilities, while the older attendees have the unique opportunity to play in matches and interact with professional players, scouts, and managers. These interactions provide valuable insights and guidance for those aspiring to further their Quidditch careers, making the camp both an educational and inspiring experience.

Quidditch Leagues:

Children can join leagues starting the year they turn eight. This means that if a child is seven during the summer but will turn eight by the end of the year, they can still participate. For example, a child born in 2009 who turns eight in 2017 can join the league that year, even if they are still seven during the summer. This rule ensures that all children of the same birth year can play together, promoting fairness and inclusion.

Teams** will be separated by years:

• U-9 beginner (8 and 9-year-old birth years)
• U-11 (10-11-year-old birth years)
• U-14 (12-14-year-old birth years)
• U-17 (14-17-year-old birth years)***
• Adult

*Broom sports leagues and competitions won't start until a child is 8 due to safety and liability. Quidditch camp for 5-7 year-olds is focused on learning to fly safely.
**The number of teams is determined by the number of children that register to play and the amount of coaching volunteers that season.
***Students that tryout and make the formal U17 league will not participate in the recreational U17 leagues. These leagues are set up for fun, recreational, and learning experiences.
