Quidditch Roster by The Coach

This year, games would be something to look forward to. They always were, but this was going to be different. And somehow - Merlin only knew how - they had enough players for two full teams. Sort of. One girl had arrived to tryouts to go for Keeper and then promptly followed her friend to Chaser tryouts. One girl had done well as a Chaser and then followed up a few days later by withdrawing completely from any position, asking only to play as a reserve player. She wasn't a bad flier, so she could probably do alright in any position. Otherwise, everyone seemed to be doing pretty alright and the coach was generally pleased with the results of tryouts and the subsequent roster. It had taken time, and there were always risks to pitting students against each other, as they may very well be playing their friends and housemates when the teams looked like this, but that would just have to be okay.

A week after tryouts, the coach posted the roster to the bulletin board in Cascade Hall, and left to find something to eat. This area would undoubtedly be clogged up with students with varying emotions and varying levels of emotions here soon, and the coach wanted nothing to do with that. Of course, there was someone amount of satisfaction that came with having given everyone a role to play, whether as first string or not, and everyone would get to play this year. It was sort of a shame that it was still necessary to sort into players and reserve players but it was nice for the players to be able to distinguish, rather than just knowing they got a role because everyone did. Everyone who had a role got one because they played well enough to do so. Since there would still be games with other schools, it needed to be clear that those would be played first by full players and if someone wasn't available for some reason, then it would be offered to a reserve player. That had been made clear at tryouts and would be reemphasized at practices, so the coach didn't feel the need to repeat it here.
