Quidditch

Quadball is a reference both to the number of balls on the field and the number of positions in the game. The leagues and governing bodies hope the rebrand will also allow the sport to grow more.

Quidditch is getting ditched. Two large leagues say they want to distance their sport from author J.K. Rowling – and a name change could help them grow.

Concussions, broken bones, and torn ligaments are a few serious injury concerns in Quidditch — a new sport where the rules are still evolving, and players are testing the safety of them.
