Join us
The first game of real-life quidditch was played nearly 13 years ago. For thousands of people, participating in the sport – whether as a player, volunteer, or official – was a formative part of their college years and beyond. We noticed at the 2018 USQ Cup that there were a lot of retired players in attendance, and we realized that more and more people are joining this demographic each year. We would love to reconnect as a community.
We are currently primarily focusing on US alumni and events, but we welcome alumni from any national, and may expand to include global events, or simply work with other leagues and players to help them create their own alumni chapters around the world.
There is no required amount to join – we accept members at any donation level – but we have a minimum suggested donation of $25. The Quidditch Alumni Association is a nonprofit corporation currently filing to receive 501(c)(3) charity status.
