  All you need to know about Quidditch (the Muggle one)

 If you like magic and flying broomsticks, your ideal sport is QUIDDITCH!!!!! This is a sport from the magic world of Harry Potter. We, the muggles, have adapted it to play.  

        We need two teams to play Quidditch. There are seven players in each team. Players are mounted on broomsticks.

         They play on a hockey pitch. The pitch is rectangular with rounded corners, 55 metres by 33 metres, with three hoops of varying heights situated at the extremes of the pitch.

          

        There are different types of balls:

•  Quaffle: it can be manipulated by chasers or keepers. It’s similar to volley ball, but quaffles are always red. If a chasers passes the quaffle throw one of the three hoops, during the match, its team will win 10 points. There is one quaffle during the match.

• Bludger: it can be manipulated only by beaters. During the match there are three bludgers. The bludgers are used to hit any other player.  

•  Snitch: it is a tennis ball placed at the bottom of a yellow long sock which is attached to the back of the snitch runner's shorts (as if it were a tail). The snitch runner may do everything to protect the snitch from being caught by seekers. Only seekers may make advances towards the snitch. No forceful contact with the snitch runner is allowed. The game ends when the snitch is caught by a seeker.
