Quidditch is a fun way to get in shape, make new friends, travel and compete against other universities. We also have many social events such as the Yule Ball and Harry Potter Trivia Nights! We welcome all students who would love to join our Thunderbirds Sport Club team and compete as an official UBC student athlete. For more information please feel free to contact an executive member at quidditch.sc@ubc.ca.

Eligibility Requirements:

Attend all team practices, games and gym sessions
Notify Coach of all conflicts and absence 2 weeks in advance
Must pay team and tournament fees
Must be a UBC Student with a minimum number of credits
Must be in good academic standing

Try Outs: 

Because of COVID-19, we will regrettably not be holding in-person tryouts in Term 1. If you are interested in joining our team, you can contact us at quidditch.sc@ubc.ca, or visit our zoom call on Imagine Day (on September 8th), and we would be happy to offer you more information, and welcome you to our team!

Team Fees:

Team fees will be $60 CAD per month (subject to change, hopefully will be lower). These fees will cover your uniform, fields rental, equipment usage, travel insurance, travel costs, Tournament fees and social events.

We expect every member of our team to help with fundraising efforts, any excess funds we have will be reimbursed to members, we estimate that fundraising would effectively bring down monthly team fees by $10 to $20.

Practice Schedule:

• We aim to have one practice per week in Term 1, time TBD.
• We will also have exercises and events throughout the term, so there will be no shortage of activities!

Competition Schedule:

• In the interest of COVID-19 safety, we will not be attending any tournaments in Term 1.
• Term 2 tournament schedule will be updated later this term.

The UBC Quidditch Club was founded in 2010 as an AMS Club. Since 2012, UBC Quidditch played in the toughest league of Quidditch (United States Quidditch); however this year marks major change, as we switch to the Canadian league (Quidditch Canada) and begin an inaugural year as a UBC Thunderbird Sport Club.

Perennially, UBC Quidditch is often one of the strongest teams in BC and most of its surrounding area, with victories against teams all over BC and Washington, as well as sharing an intense neck-and-neck rivalry with the 2016-17 National Champions (the Edmonton Aurors), as well as SFU Quidditch and UVic Quidditch. We can’t wait to play them at Nationals.

Those interested in trying Quidditch for the first time or participating on a more recreational team are encouraged to join our AMS Quidditch Club. More information can be found here: http://www.ubcquidditch.com/
