Quadball is a new sport, born out of passion and inspired by the world of Harry Potter: it’s played on the ground, with brooms between the legs, balls, and rules that mix elements of rugby, dodgeball, and handball.
In 2022, the sport officially changed its name worldwide, taking a clear distance from J.K. Rowling’s views considered transphobic and reaffirming its inclusive values.
At a time when trans rights are under threat, we meet a team playing in Milan, whose charter is built around “inclusion, diversity, competitiveness, and fun without gender boundaries.”
