UCLA Quidditch

UCLA is actively involved in the International Quidditch Association's Western Regional Division. Learn about this unique sport and its players who made Quidditch a bona fide club sport team at UCLA.

@DoubleSlapp I'm not offended thank you very much I just don't see the point of it. I'm not saying that we should study so hard to the point we're ready to kill ourselves, but try to do something better with our free time that's constructive. I have an internship, a part-time, and I got to school full time. We can agree to disagree, and I'm perfectly fine with it. I would people get some exercise than to be sitting on their asses all day, but I just think this is silly.

@TenaciousTennia Sports rock. There are captains (leaders), executive board members (also leaders), and running the huge tournaments (leadership prime). I'm not sure what particularly offends you, the fact that students have taken a concept from a book series and adapted it to real life, OR that for some reason we aren't striving like the South Koreans, who have a suicide rate of 17 out of every 100,000 students (one of the highest in the world). I'll take the brooms thank you.

@DoubleSlapp Sorry, but I'm entitled to my opinion. I just don't see the point in this. I like the Harry Potter movies and all, but I thinks this is taking an obsession a little too far. I don't see any leadership roles coming out of this and there are many other activities that can make someone a leader. And you sarcasm isn't appreciated. I'm committing on youtube not writing an essay for you. I just don't think "qudditch" would look good on a resume when applying for a real job!

@TenaciousTennia You are so right. We don't need this physical activity, a sense of comradeship and cooperation, learning to taking initiative and leadership roles, and people actually enjoying themselves. None of these things help in the Real World. Just think of all the money lost on buying those household items, like brooms and hula hoops. You would think that people would take more time to teach these good people more important things. Like punctuation and capitalization.
