Try Quadball at Barn Elms Sports Centre!🏐

**Come try quadball - a mixed-gender sport open to anyone and everyone regardless of gender, ability, or background.** Quadball, formerly quidditch, features players on each side aiming to outscore their opponents by throwing a volleyball through one of three opposing hoops, whilst defending their own hoops with tackles or knocking out opponents with dodgeballs - all while on a broom. **[Short Video on How To Play Quadball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKUZ9LLH-_c)** These sessions are casual mixed games, and are very beginner friendly, so this is a fantastic opportunity for new people to get involved! ## Despite our quidditch origins, quadball is very much a sport unto itself and has no relation to or any involvement with Harry Potter or JK Rowling. We celebrate the inclusion of members of the LGBTQ+ community and welcome people of **all** backgrounds and gender identities to get involved. **These sessions are designed to be casual and easy to get involved with** * Each session will start with a small warm up, alongside a brief introduction of the rules for newer players. * Some drills and skills will be taught before heading into matches. * Players will be sorted into teams, and we'll have several mixed games across the evening (sunlight depending) * Games will run for 20 minutes each, split into two 10-minute halves. * Afterwards we'll head to either The Red Lion to relax, hang out, and get to know the other players. **Please bring** * Suitable athletic or outdoor footwear * *Trainers or Football Boots* * Suitable clothing for exercise * A mouthgaurd Whether you’re brand new to sport, a seasoned athlete, or just wanting to give something new and interesting a go - this is the place to be!
