History of US Quidditch. Quidditch was founded in 2005 at Middlebury College by then-freshman Xander Manshel. Looking for a variation on their normal Sunday activities, Manshel and his friends laid the foundation for a game that has grown in leaps and bounds to become a widely respected, physically intense sport.
In March, US Quidditch is incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The first-ever meeting of USQ board of directors takes place in May. In November, 46 teams compete in World Cup IV in Manhattan, the first world cup tournament to be held away from the Middlebury campus.
