Question

How do I handle a Quidditch tryout?

Community Answer

Make sure you are in somewhat decent shape physically and can catch/throw a ball. Most importantly, don't be intimidated by the size of some players and don't underestimate other players because they are small (small people can make for great chasers), and have fun. Most teams care about getting to the national cup but care more about having fun and creating a good atmosphere. Look up videos on YouTube, especially of the Illinois State Firebirds Quidditch team, for a good example of what people do and how they interact.

Question

If I have a clear field, how do I hide a tennis ball?

Community Answer

If you're using the tennis ball as a snitch, then you can attach it to the snitch runner by means of a rope. Cut a slit in the tennis ball and tie a knot on the end of a rope to insert into the tennis ball. The knot will keep the ball from falling off without enough force, e.g. a seeker catching ahold of it.

Can I play with only two other people?

Community Answer

You can make your own version of the game to play with two other people, but it wouldn't really follow the rules of Quidditch.

Preferably 14, but it could still work with another number as long as there are even numbers on both sides and you adjust the rules.

Question

Will a bludger kill you?

Community Answer

It certainly should not, if everyone is following the rules and you're using reasonably soft balls, like dodgeballs. No one is known to have died playing Quidditch.

You can, but you'll have to make some changes to the game structure as you wouldn't have enough people to fill all the positions.

You still use brooms, but instead of flying, you are running around. They must be in between your legs at all times.

Question

Is a large field necessary to play Quidditch?

Community Answer

It would be better with a big field because it would be easier to run around when there's more space, and it is more challenging to catch the snitch. But a small field will work just as well.

Enough to make a team with each role filled. Substitutes are optional but highly suggested due to the long extent of time you may be playing.

There is no age requirement for Muggle Quidditch, but in the Harry Potter books you have to be a second year, unlike Harry, who was just too good.

How can I identify the different positions of the players?

AyumiiMaru

You can make your Quidditch team wear different colored items like bandannas to represent their positions. For example, the Chasers could wear red bandannas, the Beaters could wear blue, the Keeper could wear yellow, and the Seeker could wear green.

For shorter players, younger players, or wheelchair-using players, yes, they can be shorter, but make sure they’re not too short or the game won’t be fun.

Question

Do there have to be three chasers in muggle quidditch?

Community Answer

In wizard quidditch there are three chasers, but I don’t think that there is a required amount if you are playing for fun, as long as the amount of people in each position is proportional.
