The University of Newcastle Quadball Club

Quadball is a competitive sport growing rapidly around Australia and the world. It is played predominantly by university students, but it is also played by older and younger community teams, and even schools. Derived from the fictional sport ‘quidditch’ in JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels, it was developed into a real-life sport by fans back in 2005, and has since grown into a worldwide phenomenon. It is currently the only mixed-gender full contact sport in the world, played in over 30 countries and governed by the International Quadball Association (IQA). The University of Newcastle Quadball Club was established in 2011 at the University of Newcastle, Australia. The Club is affiliated with Nusport, with Quadball New South Wales, and with Quadball Australia Inc. The Club’s representative team, the Newcastle Fireballs, participated in all major quidditch competitions held in the country. Facebook: uonquadball Instagram: uonquadball
