Survey Says...

The development department has a few projects on which we are seeking input.

The Title 9 3/4 team has a survey to gauge interest, involvement, and knowledge of the team’s ideology, projects, and issues of gender equality in the league. The Title 9 3/4 survey can be accessed via this link.

The kidditch team has a survey about what youth quidditch events teams across the league have hosted or participated in, to determine what resources may be most useful, and what experiences teams have had. The kidditch survey can be accessed via this link.

The literacy team has a survey about the IQA’s recent partnership with the Harry Potter Alliance on the Accio Books! book drive campaign. Whether your team participated in the drive or not, please take a few moments to complete some questions about the program. The literacy survey can be accessed via this link.

Each survey should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete, and your responses will help our department to best serve the needs of the quidditch community. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any questions or comments. We greatly appreciate your support, and we thank you for your time and your dedication to quidditch!

Help the Narwhals get to Western Regionals!

Western Regionals are quickly approaching, which means the Narwhals are rearing up to fundraise in order to be able to afford going to Regionals. If we qualify, we will be able to go to the World Cup which will be held in Kissimmee, Florida. Any help would be greatly appreciated! There is a link to donate to our Paypal account below, or if you feel uncomfortable using Paypal, you may send us a message here or an e-mail at [email protected] and I will send you an address.

What is your favorite thing about Quidditch?

I love telling people i play quidditch just for the looks on their face. On the pitch, i love being keeper and seeing the whole field. I feel like the quarter back of a football team. Also, who doesn't like to score?
