🏐Welcome to Quadball Pick-Up Games: WEEK 7!🏐
We’re nearing the end of our 10-week Pick Up games programme, and its been a lot of fun so far! Come join us on the meadows to throw a ball through some hoops and give Quadball a shot!
What to expect:
- A short introduction of the rules
- Diving into casual beginner friendly matches
- and a lot of good vibes!
We had many people who were just watching us play decide to join and enjoy this unique sport the past few weeks.
🤾What is Quadball?
Its a niche mixed-gender sport, incorporating elements of dodgeball and handball. You get four balls— One volleyball (to score points) and three dodgeballs (to eliminate opponents.) The dodgeballs apply pressure while you and your team try to score and defend as many points as possible!
👀How can I join?
We are doing weekly Pick-Up and Play sessions on Thursdays 7PM-8:30PM for a limited amount of time! Just show up in running shoes and joggers and hop in!
We also play in national tournaments, you can join the team by messaging us or coming to our usual weekly Saturday trainings. DM us to let us know you’re coming and if you have any questions. We don’t do squad selections so if you join and sign up, you will have a spot on the squad!
🏳️🌈Quadball is Gender-Inclusive!
Quadball is not just a mixed gender sport, but one that is actively gender inclusive! This means the sport and our team puts in an active effort to make sure our non binary and female players feel seen and included. The 3 Gender-Max rule means that a team can only field three players of the same gender maximum on pitch at a time. This rule encourages gender diversity on the playing field, and every nom binary gender label is considered its own individual gender! Come and give this uniquely trans and gender inclusive sports a try!

Today we had beautiful sunny weather in Edinburgh (rare) and since we were just a few people we decided to play some Hunger Games, Quadball edition. If you don’t know, this drill has everyone start on ‘cones’ and all the balls + sticks are in the central ‘cornucopia’ like in the Hunger Games books. The goal? Be the last one standing and eliminate everyone else!
Starting this coming Thursday 23rd, we’re starting a Pick Up League in the Meadows! More information coming soon, but this means you can come and join a match of quadball with 0 sport experience at all! Just enjoy running around throwing a ball through hoops with a stick between your legs. Let us know if you’re coming 👀
