Quidditch for Muggles Workshop

Our Quidditch workshops are a fantastic way to get children active, whilst opening up their imaginations as they fly on their broomsticks, score goals with the Quaffle, disrupt opponents with Bludgers and even attempt to catch the Golden Snitch!

During our workshops the children will get to play some fun games to learn the rules and positions involved in Quidditch and also get to play matches against each other, whilst representing the four Hogwarts house teams (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff & Ravenclaw).

With so much going on in Quidditch, the children will work on numerous skills used in PE and other sports including movement, change of direction and speed, lots of hand-eye co-ordination, aerobic endurance, aiming, passing, shooting, throwing & catching, goalkeeping, tagging and so much more. Because of all this, those children that are sporty love it, however, what may be surprising is the children who are not typically sporty children also love it and even thrive in Quidditch as they picture themselves in the Wizarding World flying on their broomstick playing the sport made famous in the Harry Potter books and films. Do you have children with SEN or various disabilities? No problem, we are very adaptable and make sure everyone gets to enjoy our workshops. Quidditch really is a sport for everyone.

Quidditch

Click to read full text What better way to venture into the Wizarding World during your P.E. lessons than playing Quidditch, the sport made famous in the Harry Potter books and films.
The pupils taking part will play some fun games to learn the rules and positions involved and then move onto playing matches against each other, representing the Hogwarts house teams. They will use a variety of skills regularly used in other sports and activities such as running, changing direction, lots of hand-eye co-ordination, passing, throwing, catching, aiming, dodging, defending and attacking.
Quidditch is an inclusive sport and is a hit with those children that excel in sport, but what is fantastic about Quidditch is how it resonates with those children who are not your usual sporty children. They love it and quite often don't realise they are playing sport, they just picture themselves in the Wizarding World being Harry Potter or one of his friends.

Team Building Workshop

Our Quidditch sessions are a fantastic way to bring a team together. Team building skills are vital in sport and in other walks of life so being able to work together when each member of the team has a role to play is very beneficial.
With lots of skills being used in each role to accomplish the task at hand it can begin to emulate a workplace environment, in a fun, engaging and inclusive environment.

Who are Quidditch for Muggles?

Quidditch for Muggles is run by Owyn Rees, who was a PE teacher for years in both private and state schools. After playing a version of Quidditch on the last lesson of the year for one class he decided to run Quidditch sessions for the local community during school holidays. That idea grew into a school holiday camp named Camp Hogwarts, providing activities like potions, spell casting, flying lessons, Quidditch and much more. Now Owyn is fulltime running Quidditch for Muggles and visits schools, companies. tour groups and other groups providing workshops and running sessions based around the Wizarding World.
