Quadball is a mixed gender, full contact sport played across the world. Originally inspired by the game in the Harry Potter series, quadball has grown since the inaugural match in 2005 to be a sport played by thousands of players in over 40 countries.
Seven players on each team compete to outscore their opponents by scoring the volleyball through one of the opposition hoops, defending their own hoops with tackles and dodgeballs, and catching the snitch to end the game.
The International Quadball Association (IQA) is the international governing body for quadball. We work with our members to facilitate international competition and cooperation, develop the sport through rulebooks, and to bring quadball to a worldwide audience.
