You may have seen us during your frisbee tossing or picnic pow-wows on Memorial Glade--sorry if a stray dodgeball ever interrupted your impromptu guitar sesh.

Cal Quidditch, representing the University of California, was founded by a group of wide-eyed Harry Potter fanboys and fangirls in the fall of 2009. Our club competes in the fast-growing, full contact, and co-ed sport known as Quidditch. With regional, national, and international competitions, we take on teams from Stanford, UCLA, USC, Google, and almost every major university.


After qualifying for Quidditch World Cup V in 2012, the club has gone four years without securing another national tournament bid. Coming off a 5-19 season last year, Cal Quidditch was quickly dismissed as one of the weakest teams in the Western Region entering the 2015-2016 season. 

With new leadership and vision, we set out to defy all expectations. After posting a 9-1 season record as the number 18th ranked team in the nation, the Golden Bears headed down to Los Angeles to compete at the Western Quidditch Regionals. In a major upset, Cal beat the number 2 seed  UCLA Bruins to secure the long sought after US Quidditch Cup 9 bid. 


Our primary goal since the beginning of the year was to qualify for this tournament. Starting in August with a new batch of recruits and renewed energy, we trained three days a week--hitting the track and weight room, watching film, reviewing strategy, and getting laughed at and photographed  while running around with brooms between our legs. Our team could not be more excited to see our efforts come to fruition.

However, we need your help.

The World Cup is located in South Carolina on April 16-17 and since the school doesn't financially support our team, it's on our individual players to pay for flights and hotels. 

Sometimes, dreams cost a lot of money.

We want to see as many of our players represent the California Golden Bears as possible--regardless of their financial situation. If there is any way you could contribute to our cause, we would greatly appreciate it-- anything helps. Thats right, we're Cal Quidditch, and we want your vacuum pennies.
