What is quadball?
Inspired by the sport of quidditch, quadball is a mixed gender contact sport with a unique mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball, and tag. A quadball team is made up of seven athletes who play with brooms between their legs at all times. While the game can appear chaotic to the casual observer, once familiar with the basic rules, quadball is an exciting sport to watch and even more exciting to play.
Quadball was founded in 2005 at Middlebury College by Xander Manshel and Alex Benepe. Looking for a variation on their normal Sunday activities, they gathered friends and laid the foundation for a game that has grown in leaps and bounds to become a widely respected, physically intense sport.
​
Since the sport began in 2005, quadball has grown from a single team to over 600 teams in nearly 40 countries!
How do you play quadball?
Become an event vendor!
A core value of Hit Your Mark Productions is to always source and screen the best local vendors on behalf of our clients to ensure their guests have the best experience during their event. As the official event partner for US Quadball, our team looks forward to applying this practice to all the local communities in which quadball events are executed across the United States.
​
We are looking for vendors of all types to create an environment that complements the gameplay exhibitions of a quadball event. We invite everyone from food vendors to merchandise vendors, to entertainers to submit your information to be considered for an upcoming quadball event.
Please note that quadball events are primarily outdoor events which are executed rain or shine. Due to the nature of the quadball season, all efforts are made on-site to execute all scheduled games apart from extreme weather. Inclement weather could result in a delay of play which could have varying results on your vending experience.
Vendors that require power and venues that do not have adequate power sources, may be required to provide their own power solutions. For a food vendor to be considered, a vendor will need to provide proof they are authorized to serve the public in their local municipality and be able to offer one vegan option among your list of food offerings.
It’s important to note that while our team will serve as the primary point of contact throughout the review process and on the event day, all approvals are finalized by both US Quadball and the management of venue where these events are hosted.
