What is Quadball?

Quadball is a fast-paced, contact sport created in 2005 and played in over 39 countries. A quadball team consists of up to 21 athletes with seven players per team on the field at any one time. Each player must keep a broom between their legs at all time. Points are scored by throwing a volleyball (formally called the quaffle) through any of three hoops fixed at either end of the field, while dodgeballs (formally called the bludger) are used to ‘knock out’ players temporarily. The snitch is the ball that must be caught to end the game. 

Location

US Quadball does not have a physical, central office; all employees and volunteers work remotely.
