Did you know that during play a team captain can call a time out?

But each team can only call one per game so it has to be used well!

Did you know that if the snitch is caught but gives both teams the same number of points then the game goes into overtime?

So you've really got to be careful when you catch it!

Did you know that SQC qualified to go to Italy last March?

But because of COVID-19 the tournament was delayed but once it's safe we'll be back to claim our medals!

Good morning everyone!

We will be postponing until next weekend, keep updated on our FB page.

Did you know that every quidditch player must have a number between 0 and 99?

Once a numbers been picked, it can't be used by anyone else on the team or they can't play together!

Did you know that in quidditch you need to wear cleats?

Quidditch is played on grass which can get churned up very quickly so you want that grip!

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that quidditch teams can't have yellow shorts?

This is so some innocent player doesn't get attacked by a seeker! Unfortunately not all of our snitches can look like them!

Did you know that in quidditch you need to wear a mouth guard?

Quidditch is a contact sport so you really do need one!

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that in quidditch you can't have long nails?

If you can see them poking over your finger tips when looking at your palm then they have to go!

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that in quidditch that we use a stick called a broom?

It can't make you fly though so don't try it!

We are sad to announce that all training's will be delayed until next week with SQC as our coaching team are currently working to create a safe training environment that follows the rules and requirements put in place by QUK and SUSU.

Did you know that when a keeper is in their keeper zone they can't be tackled or beat?

This only works INSIDE their keeper zone though, if they leave then anyone can tackle them!

Did you know that during gameplay only one person can leave the sub box at a time?

It's a good thing they're big or it would be very cramped!

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that there are substitutes in quidditch?

As a player on pitch gets tired they'll sub out for someone else so that they can rest.

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that there is wheelchair quidditch?

The snitch is on roller skates! ROLLER SKATES! We imagine even Raj would struggle with catching that snitch

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that a quidditch team needs at least 7 players that fit the gender rules to start a game?

But if they lose players during the game they can continue with less players!

#Quidditch #HarryPotter #SQC #Southampton #Southamptonuni #SUSU #DidYouKnow #Freshers2020 #QUK

[SouthamptonQuidditch @SouthamptonQC]

Did you know that there can only be four players per team who identify as the same gender on pitch at any one time?

That means that teams can't be skewed to one gender or another!
