Quadball for ages 6 and up
Kidditch
What is Kidditch?
Kidditch is a version of Quadball adapted for children and teenagers aged 6 to 16. Just like adult Quadball, the sport combines elements of handball, dodgeball and rugby, bringing running, throwing, catching and teamwork together in one game.
The most important difference: Kidditch is played without full contact. The balls, sticks and goal hoops are also slightly smaller and adapted to younger players. The different age groups generally play by the same rules, although drills and requirements during training can of course be adapted to suit the players’ ages.
Alongside the sporting aspect, the main focus is on having fun playing together: inclusive, mixed-gender and open to beginners with no prior experience. Kidditch also has a regular competition programme, including German and European Championships, where teams from different clubs compete against each other.
Taster Days & Other Activities
Have you always wanted to try out the sport from Harry Potter? Then Kidditch is just the thing for you! We’ll introduce you to the different positions: Chaser, Keeper, Beater and, of course, Seeker. You’ll get to try them all out in fun exercises. And at the end, you can even take part in a full Kidditch match!
We regularly organise open taster days, for example during the summer and autumn holidays. These give children and young people the chance to discover the sport, try it out for themselves and enjoy being part of a team.
Missed one of our taster days? No problem! Whenever we plan the next one, we’ll announce the date here on our website. So make sure to check back!
Want to bring Kidditch to you? There are also plenty of ways to try out the sport outside our taster days:
School clubs and activity days: We’d be happy to visit your school and offer Kidditch as an extracurricular club or as part of a one-off activity day. Together, we’ll discover the sport, try out different exercises and experience how much fun being active as a team can be.
Birthday parties: Looking for a special idea for your birthday? How about a game of Kidditch? Together, we’ll dive into the world of the sport and make your birthday a sporting adventure to remember.
Interested in one of our activities or want to find out more? Just email us at kidditch@ruhrphoenix.de.
We look forward to seeing you!

Training & Team
We’re currently building our own Kidditch team for children and teenagers. Our aim is to give young players the opportunity to discover Quadball in a safe, fun and welcoming environment and gain their first experience of the sport together.
As soon as we have more information about the team, training times and training location, we’ll publish it here.
Do you have any questions, or would you like to be notified when the Kidditch team gets started? Then feel free to contact us at kidditch@ruhrphoenix.deWe look forward to hearing from anyone who’s interested!
