The quaffle can be passed between players on the same team.

Not keeping your broomstick in position (i. e. , between your legs with one hand on the stick) is a foul. Failing to dismount a broomstick and tag a hoop after being hit with a bludger is a foul. If any player besides the seeker touches the snitch, this is a foul. Any kind of rough playing, such as shoving or hitting, may result in a foul.

Goal posts are placed on a line 18 yards (16 m) from the centerline. The keeper zone starts 12 yards (11 m) from the centerline and reaches to the end of the field.

A person’s gender is the gender they identify with, which may not necessarily be the gender they were assigned at birth. Quidditch welcomes players of all genders and gender identities.

You can only toss the quaffle through the front of the hoops.

Other beaters can be hit with bludgers by the opposing team. However, beaters cannot hit the player carrying the snitch with a bludger. In the event a bludger goes out of bounds, the ref can quickly retrieve it.

All players, including beaters on the other teams, need to stop playing if they’re hit by a bludger. The one exception is the person carrying the snitch, as they’re not technically a player for either team.

The player carrying the snitch is not permitted to leave the field during the game, but needs to work hard to evade the seekers. This is why it’s important to choose someone very agile to carry the snitch.

Remember, the snitch is the ball attached to the carrier’s waistband. You must grab ahold of the ball to catch the snitch.

The seeker needs to pursue the snitch, so pick someone who’s very fast. If someone runs track, for example, they could be the seeker. Players with experience playing basketball or volleyball may be good chasers, as it involves pursuing, kicking, throwing, and passing a ball. Anyone who’s played dodgeball or a similar game would make a good beater, as they’d be able to hit players with bludgers. If anyone has experience as a goalie in a game like soccer or hockey, they would make a good keeper.
