I am now Making Personalized Muggle Quidditch Scarves!
If you are on a Quidditch Team and you want one made I will Make you one all You have to do is…
1) Mail me Your Quidditch Position and School
(If you do not want to tell me your school then just the colors, I say school so I can look and try to match them as best as I can.)
2) Give me at the least 24h and you I will Post it.
I am even Making ones for Seekers if they are wanted or any other Muggle-Quidditch related thing
( I also make requests so mail if you want something different too)
This is My site so you can look to see what I have and if there are any you like :)
So my friends/idols on “The Pitch” asked me for a drill that works on the fundamentals for being a good snitch. Now, by no means do I rank myself as one of the top snitches in this sport… I’ve got a lot to work on. A lot. But here’s a drill that I think can really help any prospective snitches become the best they can be.
Use cones to make a large square, with each cone at least FIFTEEN yards away from each other.
I colored the cones to make it easier to explain. Start off at the red cone and sprint as fast as you possibly can to the pink cone. Then turn around and run backwards to the green cone. Once you’re there, spin around and run towards the blue cone, and do at least three leaping spins until you get there. Then jog half-pace back to the red cone. Do that exact lap again. Then on the third time, have “seekers” (can be any player, since they’re just acting as obstacles and aren’t actually trying to catch you) stand in front of each cone. Once more, you start at the red cone and sprint to the pink cone, where the person there should make a (half-hearted) attempt to catch you. Juke around them and then run backwards to the green cone. The person there makes another attempt at a grab - do a full spin around them and make your way to the blue cone, all the while spinning. At the blue cone, either push or aggressively run through the “seeker” there to get past them. Then build up your energy as you jog back to the red cone, where you TACKLE the “seeker” next to it - don’t stop until you have the “seeker” on the ground.
This works on all the basic snitch necessities - fast breaks, spinning, running backwards (which you actually should do as much as possible, to keep track of the progress of oncoming seekers), and then once you bring people into it, it works on juking, pushing and tackling. The three laps (two normal, one with seekers) is considered “one cycle”. Do at least three cycles with about one minute’s rest in between each.
For all of you teams doing Hunger Games themed things: I want to suggest we do something like this at one of our practices because we only have about 3 weeks life, so we want to do some fun stuff. But I am not sure how people are actually playing it. Can someone explain the Hunger Games drill to me? Or your version of it?

Look, it’s a video of me Seeking as a member of JNDS! Too bad it features, for me, one of the most frustrating parts of the entire Penn State tournament. I clearly could have done much more in this video. I remember coming within fingertips of this catch numerous times, but in the end it just wasn’t good enough.
