Quadball, the real-life sport inspired by the magical game of Quidditch, is hosting the national qualifier again in Champaign County. On March 7-8, it will be brooms up at the Rantoul Family Sports Complex as college and adult club Quadball teams from across the country compete for qualification spots at the US Quadball Cup 2026.
Quadball is a mixed-gender, full-contact sport played by around 600 teams in almost 40 countries. The rules, originally adapted from the Harry Potter book series by Middlebury College in Vermont students, incorporate a mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball, and flag football. A Quadball team is made up of seven athletes who must keep a broom between their legs at all times. While other field sports like lacrosse have players using sticks to pass a ball across the playing field, Quadball’s use of a broom during play intensifies this game by forcing players to coordinate holding the broom while also tackling an opponent or passing and catching the ball.
