A local woman is bringing a dream to fruition AND hosting a super fun tournament as a result!
The game of Quidditch in Harry Potter movies has taken on a mortal twist. Of course there are no flying brooms but the teams of seven must have a broom between their legs at all times. Coordinator of the inaugural tournament in Perryville, Sasha Moore says this is a co-ed contact sport catching on across the country! Ages 14 and up mix elements of rugby, dodgeball and tag and try to score goals through the rings, just like in the movies. Moore tells KZIM KSIM there are even golden snitches… only they are people…
Teams will meet at 5 o’clock Friday afternoon on the 17th. The tournament will begin at noon on the 18th at Rozier’s Field on the Perryville soccer complex. BYOB – bring your own broom. The entry fee is simply buying an event T-shirt. All proceeds go to the American Diabetes Association in honor of Moore’s little sister. Winners receive gift certificates to local businesses.
