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. We post information about our tryouts and open practices where you can try out the sport on our instagram @ubcquidditch

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

Try Outs: 

We will keep you updated about the tryout process as we approach the fall 2021 term! You can keep checking our website and our instagram @ubcquidditch.

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 to two practices per week in Term 1 and 2, 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. UBC Quidditch plays in the Canadian league (Quidditch Canada) and is 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.
