Muggle Quidditch

For all of you who don't know, there is a form of Quidditch for Muggles. And I have started the only team within 300 miles of my home town (from research I have found one in Bowling Green). It was a random spur of the moment kind of thing when one day I was just searching Youtube. I found a video of people playing Quidditch and became instantly intrigued by it. I sent a few messages to Ohios representative (Whose name is Alexis MOODY of all things) and soon I had a copy of the rules and a great understanding of the game. 

The next thing was making up the teams. This part was fairly easy at the beginning. I filled up the first two teams (Gryffendor and Hufflepuff) but finding Ravenclaws and Slytherins was a more daunting task. We eventually filled up the rosters and started having practices. They started off basic at first. No brooms or snitches, but lately we've added brooms and are approaching practice with our snitch.

This is all very exciting and very nerdy for me so of course I am enjoying every minute of it. Being the head of Gryffendor and the actual founder of all the teams, it is my responsibilitie to get the gym at times when we need it and organize practices and basically everything else there is. Thing is baseball has gym every night for like the next two months so now we gotta either have practices outside or do them on the weekends. So thats a new problem I have to work out.

All this stuff is going to SOOOOO be worth it once the weather brightens up and we can start having matches. We're still working on a scoring system to decide which house will be the overall winner at the end of our 'season' and i'm in the progress of making our trophy. I'll be uploading more information on our matches in the future so make sure to stay tuned.

!BATBOY OUT!

    Oh and for the record, I am the captain of the Slytherin team. Oh, and you spelled responsibility wrong. <3
