Quidditch is a fast paced, mixed gender sport that is played like a mixture of basketball, dodgeball and rugby.

Dive deep into this tactically complex new sport and find out if you are a natural chaser, keeper, beater or seeker!

Usually played as a full contact sport, this is an opportunity for you to explore it as a beginners non-contact course.
