Quidditch for Muggles

                     

Students at The New School formed two Quidditch teams this year. After spending two afternoons practicing, the two teams came together to play in earnest. It didn’t appear to bother anyone that it was snowing! Our game had to be modified slightly but fun was had by all. The chasers were running and trying to score by throwing the quaffle through a hoola hoop. The keepers did their best to prevent this from happening and the beaters, zig-zagged around the field beating the bludgers with a tennis racket against the keepers and chasers alike. The only person complaining was the snitch. Even though the snitch is allowed to run beyond the field of play it was exhausting to keep the seekers at bay. Limiting the seekers to skipping did not solve the problem. Hmmm.
