Falcon Player Michael Rodriguez seeks to charge through the line of Pulverizers to score a goal.

Seekers compete against one another to try to grab the snitch’s “golden tail,” which will end the game.

One thing Emerson is known for is our Quidditch teams—and for good reason. Running on broomsticks, dodging bludgers, and seeking for the golden snitch combine to make Quidditch games exciting, intense, and full of activity. Played every Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. during the fall and spring, it’s the perfect excuse to step away from studying and spend some time outside in a fun and energetic atmosphere. Join the Berserkers, Pulverizers, Outlaws, Jaguars, and Falcons as they battle it out with one another to vie for a spot in the Griffith Cup game!
