The Magical World of Muggle Quidditch

From Fantasy to Reality

Experience the thrill of Quidditch, the beloved sport of wizards, without needing a magic wand or a Hogwarts diploma. Muggle Quidditch, a real-life adaptation of the fictional game, offers a unique blend of athleticism, strategy, and fun.

The Birth of a Phenomenon

In 2005, a passionate fan at Middlebury College created a real-life version of Quidditch, merging elements of rugby and flag football. Since then, the game has spread globally, captivating athletes and fans alike with its fast-paced action and magical charm.

The Game of Wizardry

Muggle Quidditch is played on an elliptical field with seven players on each team, each wielding a broomstick. The objective is to score points by throwing “quaffles” through the opposing team’s hoops.

• Three “chasers” form the offense.
• The “keeper” acts as goalie.
• Two “beaters” use paddles to deflect “bludgers” (dodgeballs) at opponents.
• The “seeker” chases the human “Snitch Runner,” dressed in yellow with a tennis ball-snitch attached to their shorts.

College Quidditch Frenzy

Muggle Quidditch has become a sensation on college campuses, with many institutions offering it as an intramural or club sport. The International Quidditch Association (IQA) governs the game, organizing competitions for both college and community teams.

The IQA even hosts a World Cup for collegiate teams, putting Quidditch on par with other popular sports.
