Quidditch Exhibition Try-Outs by Coach Pierce
Amelia had noticed, as had just about at the Opening Feast, that many of the students were less than pleased by the cancellation of Quidditch for the year. She had also noticed that only Aladren had managed to pull in at least seven names on their team sign-up sheets. While it wasn’t as critical as in other years, given the lack of games, even practices would prove more difficult if there weren’t full teams involved and she would have liked to see at least seven names for each house, for continuity into next year if nothing else.Also, she was hoping to field at least one exhibition game this year, and those players would need to have people to practice with. She’d thought of a couple of ways to do that, and eventually decided on volunteer teams. As such, she had drafted up an additional Quidditch sign-up sheet, separate from the regular house sign-ups, and she’d figure out how to arrange the teams based on how many people signed up.

Re: Quidditch
I understand that many of you are upset by the cancellation of Quidditch Games this year, especially those of you who are graduating. It is important that regular House practices continue during the year despite the lack of Quidditch Cup so we can pick up games again smoothly next year. The decision to cancel the Cup this year did not come easily and will not be reversed.
However, if there is sufficient support and interest, I may be able to organize an exhibition game or two to keep up the competitive edge. With the challenges going on, participation is entirely voluntary. Players should sign-up below if they would be willing to play in such a match. Teams will likely be interHouse. Those who would rather focus on the challenges should still be allowed to join in House practices to train for next year.
Thank you, and I apologize again that Quidditch cannot be played in full this year.
