I could say boxing is stupid since it's two people beating each other up. I could say paintball is stupid since it's people shooting balls made of paint at each other. I could say rugby and American football are stupid since it's a bunch of people chasing an egg-shaped ball and pushing each other on the ground.

It's a little dinky with the brooms between the legs, but generally speaking it's probably the best way you can adapt it to real life. Doesn't look like a bad sport while doing so either. Having ball-specific roles is a fun twist that makes it different from most ball sports. I wouldn't be against giving it a go!
Totally yeah! I think you're right ... it looks silly, but I suspect that it adds some level of difficulty that we don't know about. It's become very popular in a short space of time and I'm sure you could find a club near you.

As a quidditch player ( I am playing for 4 years now), I have to say that there is not that many players who are also HP fans. Even if they are they hardly ever speak about it :)
I play rugby in college and decided to do quidditch in the offseason for grins and giggles. It’s actually pretty physical and good for catching. The pipes are the worst part, but it’s not terrible. Overall, pretty fun.
Great video, as always. To those hating on the sticks: try running around with a stick between your legs. Not too easy, right? That's the point. It's like not being able to use your hands in soccer or throwing a forward pass in rugby. It makes it more challenging. And besides, you need a special set of cohones to keep a straight face while running around with a stick between your legs.
Yes indeed. A lot of people seem to have an aversion to the brooms - but I told them that this adds a degree of difficulty to the sport. Thanks man, much appreciated!
true, and thank you for not comparing it with basketball as dribbling actually was considered a loophole when first adopted and I'm rambling now aren't I
I'm going to copy-paste my comment that was originally directed at another virgin tard. "dude people aren't complaining because it's hard to run with the broom. people are complaining because it is an idiotic fanboy way of "staying true to the original" and it makes you look idiotic. there are other ways an handicap can be created whilst not steering away from the original but muggle quidditch just took the most dumb, literal, and virgin way. that's it. you might as well wear harry potter glasses as a handicap. jeez."
I'm probably the only person who doesn't like Harry Potter but this is a great video. I thought you wouldn't be doing the rules of quidditch after it appeared in the top 10 wierdest sports lol. Great video Ninh nicely done
Yeah, I swore I'd never do one. But too many people started asking for it and I couldn't ignore it any longer. It's actually an okay sport. Thanks Alex :)
So that’s how the made Quidditch a real life sport. I’ve heard it existed I just never knew how they would make a fake sport which is a mid-air sport too since they fly on brooms.
Yeah I was surprised that this turned into a real sport. When I was doing research into it - I was shocked to see how popular it actually was. It's played in almost every university ... just wow!
I just saw this from a show called "to tell the truth" and after watching this between all the rules, contact and seeing some of these guys throw the ball like world class athletes im super impressed. Never seen Harry Potter never will and dont impress easily just saying. I wonder if anyone has taking a stick to the gut before? Coming from a person that played ice hockey for a decade this looks like a mix up of field hockey, rugby, lacrosse, water polo and dodgeball that had a crack baby which is a compliment. Just blown away i never heard of this before. For anyone doing this keep it up you never know it could be in the Olympics one day.
Actually looks like a great game. We do a race for Greek week at my college where we have to run with one of those horse head on a pole between our legs down the football field jumping over obstacles. Running while trying to keep a stick between your legs is actually quite challenging. You lose a lot of balance with only one arm in play.
That's called hobby horse show jumping. I've done it. Occasionally shy at a fence for extra verisimilitude. It's all in good fun. I've also seen, but not done, hobby horse dressage.
Yeah Quidditch is becoming popular in schools now. Glad you like this video. Be sure to subscribe and check out my channel for more videos like this :)
@@themanwiththegoldengooch9811 hahaha probably not! Most of my school are nerds bc it's a science school, I don't think there were many people who would bully eachother :)
I played pro quidditch for 15 years. My career started at ilvermorny where i was on thunderbird. I then was scouted by the London Lake Monsters. I was a beater. They already had a bruiser of a player named Scandar the Great. I went by Jack the Ripper so being on London was great. Together we earned the name Death Beaters and rules the quidditch league for a decade. Teams were terrified to play us. I came from Philadelphia with the memories of the Broad Street Bullies so I renewed that mentality and me and Scandar destroyed everyone. We were playing the Paris Prancers and their captain left the pitch midway through the match because I hit him multiple times with the bludger in the head. He said it was a disgrace. I say learn how to fly your broom better. A member of the German national team I think he was actually the seeker tried to say the Death Beaters weren’t anything special. Then he giggled. He ain’t giggling anymore. This was a special quidditch pitch played over a raging rhine river. When he fell off his broom into the water the life guards could not find him. To this day he’s still missing.
Of all the fictional sports that there are I never thought this one would actually be brought to real life. You would have to be a major fan of Harry Potter to play this.
I love your explaination, although I would change the wording around the gender rule, its a max of 4 players of one gender (snitch not included). Your wording said it MUST have 4 players of one gender. Other than that, explains it well!
I lay claim that my staff and I were some of the very first to play Quidditch in the Muggle world in the year 2000. It was a summer camp for kids, and we developed indoor and outdoor versions. PROVE ME WRONG! Good vid, Ninh!
Id be really interested in this if it weren't for the broom / snitch rules. The broom would make your movement feel so unnatural and is just goofy, and the snitch could very arbitrarily decide games because of the human person acting as the snitch.
I never thought you'd make a video about Quidditch, but know that I actually understand the rules of the real life version, it actually looks really fun. I still think the brooms in between the legs is a bit silly but what ever. I want to try this now!
There is actually a world map locating all the quidditch teams around. It is more or less up to date: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1PymZ8wO-PAVWsh0RzcOCEhaZ1QE&ll=18.21288555435827%2C-57.89466349999998&z=2
I thought the same for a minute, but then I realized that a fall from the flying broom could be disastrous. Unfortunately, Arresto momemtum spell doesn't work that well in real life
Get rid of the arbitrary broom (it must be an incredible safety hazard, seeing as it's also a full-contact sport) and the human snitch element, and I think there's something here.
It really good, just needs a bit of refining. -Substitute brooms for gloves. -Change the snitch concept for something resumble "capture the flag" concept. A seeker who caught the snitch starts a timer, when the other seeker catchs the snitch restarts the timer. The team who their seeker has the snitch for a whole minute win.
As someone who plays quadball (the sport has rebranded), the brooms are unfortunately essential to the sport. There have been some test matches and the game is just worse without them. With the ability to forward pass and small number of players, you can't cover one person with multiple as easily so the slight restriction in mobility makes it a lot easier to tackle attackers.
I am part of the visually impaired program in Austin Texas. Our recreational department would love to a depth Quidditch and find a way for us to play it non-visually we are very excited to give this a shot thank you so much for this video
We actually played this at my elementary school back in 2001. We would have school tournaments 😆. Those were the days. We would use paper towel roll broom sticks, dodge balls, and 2 bouncy balls for the snitch that my teacher would throw up into the air for the seekers to catch at any random moment he would choose during the game. I have few fonder memories of my childhood than that of playing quidditch with my school at the end of the year😊
How are people not getting fucking MAIMED in a tackle game with wooden spears in their crotches? How are players not being impaled, jabbed, stabbed, and crunched the fuck up on all of the brooms when they collide?! There don't appear to be tennis balls or anything on the tips, and I'm sure they break on occasion making a nice sharp point for stabbing... This seems super dangerous and I like it.
So a lot of peoople have issue with the brooms. We use brooms as a handicap in quidditch. In Basketball you have to dribble. In football you have to use your feet. In Quidditch the broom is the handicap. That's how we think about it.
Exactly... any sport is just an objective with a set of restrictions. The broom is just one of those for Quidditch. (although I'm a bit biased since I'm on my college quidditch team already)
Honestly, it's really not as bad as you'd think. It takes maybe two or three practices to get used to running with the broom, and once you get past that it's fine.
I play for the North Pole Flying Forces. Our league is a bit different. We use only two bludgers, anyone can handle any ball, and the snitch, which is worth 10 goals, doesn't end the game. Games last one hour.
This would be a good sport if you get rid of the brooms. Not only does it hinder your movement, it's also a huge safety hazard that serves no purpose. Also, having the snitch be a person introduces bias. Sure he's supposed to be "neutral", but how do you guarantee that without getting complicated? He could choose which team will win. The snitch should just be a drone that's pre-programmed for random movements.
Initially I thought the broom was funky but then I saw the snitch and ok I give up xΔ btw I love it! Awesome game, I hope to see it televised one day in full HD :D!!!!
Believe it or not, they're doing that with the NCAA Finals for Quidditch. It'll be on ESPN or something like that. Thanks bro, glad you like this video. Be sure to subscribe and check out my channel for more like this!
As i quidditch player myself , the broom serves a massive purpose otherwise it would of been removed long ago , its purposes are so it makes it more difficult to catch while running and as the sport is very fast pace this is quite important so majority of things are done with 1 hand , so its main purpose is to handicap the players , if you took it away it would basically be rugby with a few more rules , it differs the sport from rugby in that sense , also a lot of rules to do with when you must dis-broom and go back to hoops when out or losing hold of your broom has effected many outcomes in many matches i have played, an example being when somebody dis-broom at the recent Quidditch World Cup while catching the snitch to end the game , the catch was no good because they were not successful in catching and holding there broom between there legs
I agree. I must admit, like everyone I thought it was silly at first. But once I actually started to do the research into the sport, it's actually an ingenious handicap. This make Quidditch one of the more unique sports in the world and I've certainly changed my mind about it. Thanks for the clarification!
Safety is a concern for sure, but it's just one of the hazards of the sport. They've replaced the actual brooms with PVC pipes to make it safer, but it'd be safer still if they got rid of them completely.
You would be surprised how little the brooms actually matter in terms of tackling injuries you get an odd spearing from the brooms now and then but they are few and far between. By spearing I mean someone gets hit with the end of the broom which is capped off (We us pvc pipes now).
Ninh can you make a rules of Dodgeball? I know there are a lot of variations and perhaps not that much footage, but if anyone can do, it’s definitely you!
The day I lost hope for mankind was the day I actually saw people play this game. Is just one of those things you know you do not want to explained your grandkids
Ridding the game of the silly brooms via requiring players to have one hand behind their back at all times (or something) would probably make this sport look 99% less ridiculous
As a player who came from soccer the brooms make the sport. TSK as you will but it completely changes the dynamic. Try it sometime ot slows you down and makes you think about your tackles and plays differently as you must play with one arm predominately
One variety for horse riders - where the Polo or western riders can be the best in - or great for the children to play with their ponys! - to change the broom for a horse! On a well trained horse you don't need both your hands to "drive" him - and a horse is a little bit something closer to real feeling of flying. Of course, you will need some more helpers, because when the ball falls on the ground, it's not easy to get it back when you sit on a horse ... But could be really funny!
yep, yep, if they removed the broom sticks, this would be legit. Color coordination and standardization would be important as well, since the hoops are so narrow that close colors would be a pain in the arse for a ref to tell if it's a score or not.
I love Quidditch and I would love to see it becomes a professional sport. I think it needs a bigger field 120M with 10M goal sections taller hoops (5ft and 10ft) and the game needs to have a set time, two 30 minute halfs. As for the broomstick I would have them use real broomsticks that were designed with team logos just have a soft tip on them so that people would not get hurt if ran into. If they are going to allow forward throws it needs to require that players have one hand on the broomstick at all times. If 2 handed catches are allowed then like Rugby only laterals and backward passes should be allowed. Also off sides rule needs to be added to eliminate cherry picking. You can't catch the ball behind the last defender on the other teams half. Kicking the ball should be allowed as well if its on the ground Imo. For scoring they need to lower the number of points to 1 maybe 2 if they get it in the top hoop. 3 if they kick it into a short hoop and 5 points for the tall hoop. 4 points if you tackle the ball carrier in their own zone with them coming off the stick (one hand coming off). Allow the goal keeper to not use the stick. The snitch if caught should be 15 points having the snitch end the game is stupid, it breaks the game. I also hate when sports inflate scores for no reason which is why having 10 points when its literally the same as one point is dumb. Bludgers should be heavy 5 pound medicine balls that can be thrown at a player carrying the ball in an attempt to get them off their stick, but forbid them from throwing at the head. I would totally make this version "Quadball" because the current version while fun looks amateurish.
@@NinhLyUK Within the fictional world of Harry Potter, it's a variant of Quidditch that is uniquely popular in the United States. It's meant to be an allegory for how just as "muggle" America bucks the rest of the world's favorite form of football in favor of its own, the wizarding world's America does the same thing. The basic gist is two teams of players fly around trying to put the ball, called the Quod, into the opposing team's goal. The gimmick is that the ball is enchanted to explode at a random time. If you're holding the ball when it explodes, then you're eliminated from the game. The team that scores the most goals wins.
if people weren't using brooms, then it would be less faithful to the game in the book and movie despite the concept being improvised and seem to work perfectly well. Speaking of movie based games being made into real sports, have you thought about explaining Jugger?
Ninh Ly jugger is based off the 1989 movie salute to the Juggers. And has pretty transformed into a real sport since 1995. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugger
seconding the idea of a Jugger explained video. In Vienna the Jugger and the Quiddtich people are in a close relation and sometimes mix up for trainings or do socials together
All those complaints..... Yes, I'd feel kind of stupid with a broom between my legs, and perhaps certain aspects of this version of the game aren't the same as in the sport from the books. But at least they tried to create something playable as an answer to people who liked the real quidditch game. What else would you want? Use an indoor stadium and let a dove fly around to replace the golden snitch? You could, but then there is not enough room for flying safely yourself. And how would you fly? I guess you don't want to try sitting on top of a big drone with its remote in your hands, because (1) that's either impossible or too dangerous and (2) how would you be able to hold whichever ball in your hands? So, what these guys did is a nice alternative. The only thing I would probably change is the snitch player to a taller and/or stronger person, because I feel it's a bit too easy to tackle them.
Arent the "brooms" a massive health and safety risk? What if someone accidentally bumps it into their gentlemen's sausage whilist trying to chase a ball
I can't believe they turned a sport from a fantasy book into a real thing. I bet a lot of them really think they're flying for short (maybe long) moments
I wonder if riding motorized scooters or BMX bikes would capture the idea of flying on a broom a little better than running with a stick between the legs. It would certainly be more dangerous, but eliminate the larger portion of the silliness factor in this game.
I guess they will make anything into a sport. Heck, we have Esports. Great video. I appreciate your hard work. Looking forward to your next sports video. Maybe you can explain the rules of Esports. lol
Ninh Ly Really? I used to play it all the time as a kid during recess in elementary school. I just recently found out that it was a professional sport. Pretty cool. Hopefully you will think about it.
Ah, man, don’t you hate it when you are running away from two people with yellow hand bands and one of them takes a tennis ball attached to your pants and swallows it?
I OBJECT!!!! Dodge ball has been outlawed in schools and playgrounds everywhere because "they" say it's a dangerous sport! Now here we are, not only playing a form of dodge ball, but also sporting a broom between our legs as well. Talk about "DOUBLE JEOPARDY" with this sport! First, we have the opportunity for broken noses and fingers, black eyes and bruised faces. then, as if that's not dangerous enough, now we add the possibility of actually poking an eye or a few teeth out! Parents: We forbid you to play such a dangerous game! Kids: I'm a full grown teenager! You can't tell me what to do! Tantor: Yeah, It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
Ninh Ly used to be but they had to axe that rule so now the snitch has a limited space to run and the longer they evade the more restrictions they get.
The rule was done away with to allow competition to be a little more fair and accurate. There were a lot of cases where a snitch would be caught off pitch with no way of letting the head referee know that it was caught until getting back to the field, which caused huge problems at places like URI and Syracuse
Hello! I'm the president/captain of Oklahoma State Quidditch. This video is very well made, and I am wondering if it's okay if we use it on our team's campus page to help explain it easily/quickly to students? I didn't want to take it without permission. please let me know!
Another way to play is each team has a Snitch and a seeker. The object is similar to the rules in this video, except you have your seeker catch the opponent's snitch. The reason for this is because it's difficult to find someone to play as the Snitch that is 100% neutral aka gets caught easily when the team they favor is ahead.
snitch runners have a good reputation in our sport and the longer you last the better your reputation. additionally, being biased is grounds for the runner to be replaced and never be assigned as a runner again. and it would be a shitty move and shitty people are not welcome in our sport
Mathista Ninerone If a person has to demonstrate this offense to no longer be Snitch, that means they have already cost a team a game. It's avoided altogether by having two snitches. In the Harry Potter Series, as you know, the Snitch is not a human, but a magically-powered, unbiased, flying ball. Humans, despite reputation, will always have a bias. Other rules we play by is only having 1 hoop per goal (lowers scoring), and we sometimes use a football (American Football, I'm American) for the quaffle to create a nice challenge. We play with with teams of 6 (3 chasers, 2 beaters, and 1 keeper). Teams chose who becomes their seeker and snitch. This way they can strategically chose to lose a 1 beater+1 chaser, 2 beaters, or 2 chasers. The keeper cannot become either the snitch or seeker. This rule allows everyone to play at all times, and adds strategy. Both seekers and both snitches must be deployed at the same time (15 minutes mark for us). Seekers of the team with less points have no incentive to capture their opponent's Snitch, so we allow them to be the sole defender of their snitch via blocking and tackling of their opponent's seeker. The game, as played in this video, is fun, but the rules follow the books too much to where the game isn't as exciting as it can be. Quidditch was never meant to be anything more than a fictional sport from a fantasy book. Many of the rules are a bit dumb, hence it's best played, in my opinion, with altered rules. All these alternative rules I suggested aren't always played aka we don't always have 1 hoop per goal or use a football for the quaffle. The double snitch idea and the snitch/seeker being a former chaser/beater idea are both popular with people I play with though.
The seekers are extra players or they convert the chasers/bludgeon Into them? It would be better if they are more tired so its not so easy to catch the snitch.
What if they use a segway or a scooter instead of a stick? The segway/scooter still works as a handicap the same way the stick does but it doesn't look silly.
It would be better if they ditched the brooms and found some other kind of handicap. If the purpose of the broom, aside from paying homage to the books, is to ensure they only use one hand on the ball, then they could probably just make a rule like "players can only catch the ball with one hand and hold the ball with the hand they caught it in."
I was wondering, there are no underwater sports, and an adaptation of quidditch could work well underwater. We could finally have a truly 3 dimensional sport
what prevents the snitch runner from favoring one team? seems like they have no incentive to be neutral? imo each team should have their own snitch that the other team try to catch

That's not too far off. I think kids are playing it at that age, but it's more popular amongst college students.

"throwing a forward pass in rugby" - so we should look forward to American Quidditch rules without the broom, eh? ;-)

So that’s how the made Quidditch a real life sport. I’ve heard it existed I just never knew how they would make a fake sport which is a mid-air sport too since they fly on brooms.
Yeah I was surprised that this turned into a real sport. When I was doing research into it - I was shocked to see how popular it actually was. It's played in almost every university ... just wow!
Interesting game idea I love it.
I must admit - it seems to be really popular particularly with students.
I just saw this from a show called "to tell the truth" and after watching this between all the rules, contact and seeing some of these guys throw the ball like world class athletes im super impressed. Never seen Harry Potter never will and dont impress easily just saying. I wonder if anyone has taking a stick to the gut before? Coming from a person that played ice hockey for a decade this looks like a mix up of field hockey, rugby, lacrosse, water polo and dodgeball that had a crack baby which is a compliment. Just blown away i never heard of this before. For anyone doing this keep it up you never know it could be in the Olympics one day.
Yeah, it's snuck up in popularity over the years. Who knew?!
Actually looks like a great game. We do a race for Greek week at my college where we have to run with one of those horse head on a pole between our legs down the football field jumping over obstacles. Running while trying to keep a stick between your legs is actually quite challenging. You lose a lot of balance with only one arm in play.
Yes, that sounds right. It's a lot more difficult with something between your legs and using only one arm.
That's called hobby horse show jumping. I've done it. Occasionally shy at a fence for extra verisimilitude. It's all in good fun. I've also seen, but not done, hobby horse dressage.
a gang of chads should play this sport ironically and become like evil 80s sports movie villians
Yup
My school has quidditch as one of their sports and i as a big potter nerd immediately chose it! Im so excited for school to start!!
Yeah Quidditch is becoming popular in schools now.

I played pro quidditch for 15 years. My career started at ilvermorny where i was on thunderbird. I then was scouted by the London Lake Monsters. I was a beater. They already had a bruiser of a player named Scandar the Great. I went by Jack the Ripper so being on London was great. Together we earned the name Death Beaters and rules the quidditch league for a decade. Teams were terrified to play us. I came from Philadelphia with the memories of the Broad Street Bullies so I renewed that mentality and me and Scandar destroyed everyone. We were playing the Paris Prancers and their captain left the pitch midway through the match because I hit him multiple times with the bludger in the head. He said it was a disgrace. I say learn how to fly your broom better. A member of the German national team I think he was actually the seeker tried to say the Death Beaters weren’t anything special. Then he giggled. He ain’t giggling anymore. This was a special quidditch pitch played over a raging rhine river. When he fell off his broom into the water the life guards could not find him. To this day he’s still missing.
Of all the fictional sports that there are I never thought this one would actually be brought to real life. You would have to be a major fan of Harry Potter to play this.
I love your explaination, although I would change the wording around the gender rule, its a max of 4 players of one gender (snitch not included). Your wording said it MUST have 4 players of one gender. Other than that, explains it well!
Meh, most people wouldn't really bat an eyelid at that. Thanks.
Yeah I was confused
I was confused too. I thought you meant they had to all be one gender
I lay claim that my staff and I were some of the very first to play Quidditch in the Muggle world in the year 2000. It was a summer camp for kids, and we developed indoor and outdoor versions. PROVE ME WRONG!
Good vid, Ninh!
I can actually believe that. And thanks!
Id be really interested in this if it weren't for the broom / snitch rules. The broom would make your movement feel so unnatural and is just goofy, and the snitch could very arbitrarily decide games because of the human person acting as the snitch.
I never thought you'd make a video about Quidditch, but know that I actually understand the rules of the real life version, it actually looks really fun. I still think the brooms in between the legs is a bit silly but what ever. I want to try this now!
I didn't realise how popular it actually was until I started researching it. I'm sure there's a club near you to try!
There is actually a world map locating all the quidditch teams around. It is more or less up to date: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1PymZ8wO-PAVWsh0RzcOCEhaZ1QE&ll=18.21288555435827%2C-57.89466349999998&z=2
Only if we could fly on brooms
Yeah that would be cool ... and you'd also be very very rich.
I thought the same for a minute, but then I realized that a fall from the flying broom could be disastrous. Unfortunately, Arresto momemtum spell doesn't work that well in real life
@@martadabrowska6513 But real life does have safety nets though.
You know its a serious sport when even the Texan Longhorns get involved
I'm not sure that the Longhorns is the standard for seriousness - but it's more popular than you think.
They've won nationals 4 times, they had a 3 year long streak, lost in bracket for two years, got silver year before last, and then won last year.
Get rid of the arbitrary broom (it must be an incredible safety hazard, seeing as it's also a full-contact sport) and the human snitch element, and I think there's something here.
And this is why I jump up and down every time you upload a sports explained video.
Thanks Andrew - your support as always is greatly appreciated!
you finally made a vid about it. I remember it from top 5 weirdest sports
Indeed. There was so much demand for it in the end.
It really good, just needs a bit of refining.
-Substitute brooms for gloves.
-Change the snitch concept for something resumble "capture the flag" concept. A seeker who caught the snitch starts a timer, when the other seeker catchs the snitch restarts the timer. The team who their seeker has the snitch for a whole minute win.
I love harry potter and i want to play quidditch so thank you for making this!
If it wasn’t for the tub/broom between the legs, I think a lot more people would be giving this sport a try
As someone who plays quadball (the sport has rebranded), the brooms are unfortunately essential to the sport. There have been some test matches and the game is just worse without them. With the ability to forward pass and small number of players, you can't cover one person with multiple as easily so the slight restriction in mobility makes it a lot easier to tackle attackers.
Loved this video, it was very helpful and the scenes you showed were great choices, thank you!
Thanks! Check out my channel for more! :)
I am part of the visually impaired program in Austin Texas. Our recreational department would love to a depth Quidditch and find a way for us to play it non-visually we are very excited to give this a shot thank you so much for this video
You're welcome! Glad you found this video useful.

I am part of the auditory challenged society of Schenectady and would like to link up to discuss how you progressed
We actually played this at my elementary school back in 2001. We would have school tournaments 😆. Those were the days. We would use paper towel roll broom sticks, dodge balls, and 2 bouncy balls for the snitch that my teacher would throw up into the air for the seekers to catch at any random moment he would choose during the game. I have few fonder memories of my childhood than that of playing quidditch with my school at the end of the year😊
How are people not getting fucking MAIMED in a tackle game with wooden spears in their crotches?
How are players not being impaled, jabbed, stabbed, and crunched the fuck up on all of the brooms when they collide?! There don't appear to be tennis balls or anything on the tips, and I'm sure they break on occasion making a nice sharp point for stabbing...
This seems super dangerous and I like it.
I'm going to my first quidditch match tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Good luck.

So a lot of peoople have issue with the brooms.
We use brooms as a handicap in quidditch. In Basketball you have to dribble. In football you have to use your feet. In Quidditch the broom is the handicap. That's how we think about it.
Absolutely - that's a great explanation.
To go with that i think of it as whats the difference between a lacrosse stick or hockey stick and the broom. Its just a handicap
Exactly... any sport is just an objective with a set of restrictions. The broom is just one of those for Quidditch. (although I'm a bit biased since I'm on my college quidditch team already)
Of course, but in this case it's undignified.
Honestly, it's really not as bad as you'd think. It takes maybe two or three practices to get used to running with the broom, and once you get past that it's fine.
I play for the North Pole Flying Forces. Our league is a bit different. We use only two bludgers, anyone can handle any ball, and the snitch, which is worth 10 goals, doesn't end the game. Games last one hour.
Interesting variations.
Yes, the first sport I was, and still am, passionate about. I can now get my friends into quidditch without confusing them. Thank you
Thanks bro, much appreciated!
Be sure to subscribe and check out my other channels for more like this.
they would probably be better off getting into a noose
This would be a good sport if you get rid of the brooms. Not only does it hinder your movement, it's also a huge safety hazard that serves no purpose. Also, having the snitch be a person introduces bias. Sure he's supposed to be "neutral", but how do you guarantee that without getting complicated? He could choose which team will win. The snitch should just be a drone that's pre-programmed for random movements.
You haveth pleased Me and all of the other Potter-heads on this channel 😊
Thanketh ... very ... mucheth?!
Me: sees title
Also me: Hooold up
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I really want from Ninh? Something I'd like to call 'Slightly Deeper'. Pick one sport that he already explained, and explain it deeper.
Whilst that's a good idea in theory, I doubt I'll get many watchers for that.
Initially I thought the broom was funky but then I saw the snitch and ok I give up xΔ
btw I love it! Awesome game, I hope to see it televised one day in full HD :D!!!!
Believe it or not, they're doing that with the NCAA Finals for Quidditch. It'll be on ESPN or something like that.

very helpful now im hyped for the season
Cool, thanks man - I appreciate the comment.
As i quidditch player myself , the broom serves a massive purpose otherwise it would of been removed long ago , its purposes are so it makes it more difficult to catch while running and as the sport is very fast pace this is quite important so majority of things are done with 1 hand , so its main purpose is to handicap the players , if you took it away it would basically be rugby with a few more rules , it differs the sport from rugby in that sense , also a lot of rules to do with when you must dis-broom and go back to hoops when out or losing hold of your broom has effected many outcomes in many matches i have played, an example being when somebody dis-broom at the recent Quidditch World Cup while catching the snitch to end the game , the catch was no good because they were not successful in catching and holding there broom between there legs
I agree. I must admit, like everyone I thought it was silly at first.
But once I actually started to do the research into the sport, it's actually an ingenious handicap.
This make Quidditch one of the more unique sports in the world and I've certainly changed my mind about it.
Thanks for the clarification!
one good thing about this whole "sport" 90% of the players are playing an active sport for the first time.
I appreciate the brooms may serve the purpose of acting as a handicap, my main concern with it is it seems a good way to get hurt in a tackle.
Safety is a concern for sure, but it's just one of the hazards of the sport. They've replaced the actual brooms with PVC pipes to make it safer, but it'd be safer still if they got rid of them completely.
You would be surprised how little the brooms actually matter in terms of tackling injuries you get an odd spearing from the brooms now and then but they are few and far between. By spearing I mean someone gets hit with the end of the broom which is capped off (We us pvc pipes now).
Ninh can you make a rules of Dodgeball? I know there are a lot of variations and perhaps not that much footage, but if anyone can do, it’s definitely you!
I'll consider it, but different organisations play with different rules - so it's just trying to make a video that covers it all.
The day I lost hope for mankind was the day I actually saw people play this game. Is just one of those things you know you do not want to explained your grandkids
I hear you!
Ridding the game of the silly brooms via requiring players to have one hand behind their back at all times (or something) would probably make this sport look 99% less ridiculous
yeah
this wouldnt be so bad if they didnt have those stupid brooms between their legs. Its just a sad lonely faux sport with them
Those brooms have been replaced by plastic pipes. They say that it's challenging running whilst holding a stick between your legs ... I don't know.
The brooms ruin the sport. Honestly.
the brooms make the sport unique
without them it wouldnt be quidditch anymore
As a player who came from soccer the brooms make the sport. TSK as you will but it completely changes the dynamic. Try it sometime ot slows you down and makes you think about your tackles and plays differently as you must play with one arm predominately
One variety for horse riders - where the Polo or western riders can be the best in - or great for the children to play with their ponys! - to change the broom for a horse! On a well trained horse you don't need both your hands to "drive" him - and a horse is a little bit something closer to real feeling of flying. Of course, you will need some more helpers, because when the ball falls on the ground, it's not easy to get it back when you sit on a horse ... But could be really funny!
Using a horse instead isn't a bad idea, but ball handling would be very difficult.
So horseball ? Except with two hoops and bludgers and a snitch
yep, yep, if they removed the broom sticks, this would be legit. Color coordination and standardization would be important as well, since the hoops are so narrow that close colors would be a pain in the arse for a ref to tell if it's a score or not.
I love Quidditch and I would love to see it becomes a professional sport. I think it needs a bigger field 120M with 10M goal sections taller hoops (5ft and 10ft) and the game needs to have a set time, two 30 minute halfs. As for the broomstick I would have them use real broomsticks that were designed with team logos just have a soft tip on them so that people would not get hurt if ran into.
If they are going to allow forward throws it needs to require that players have one hand on the broomstick at all times. If 2 handed catches are allowed then like Rugby only laterals and backward passes should be allowed. Also off sides rule needs to be added to eliminate cherry picking. You can't catch the ball behind the last defender on the other teams half. Kicking the ball should be allowed as well if its on the ground Imo.
For scoring they need to lower the number of points to 1 maybe 2 if they get it in the top hoop. 3 if they kick it into a short hoop and 5 points for the tall hoop. 4 points if you tackle the ball carrier in their own zone with them coming off the stick (one hand coming off). Allow the goal keeper to not use the stick. The snitch if caught should be 15 points having the snitch end the game is stupid, it breaks the game. I also hate when sports inflate scores for no reason which is why having 10 points when its literally the same as one point is dumb.
Bludgers should be heavy 5 pound medicine balls that can be thrown at a player carrying the ball in an attempt to get them off their stick, but forbid them from throwing at the head.
I would totally make this version "Quadball" because the current version while fun looks amateurish.
How will the keeper block any balls???? Think about it the brooms dont really let them fly
This is the nerdiest sport I've heard of... and I love it XD
Fair enough.
Since you did Muggle Quidditch, is Muggle Quodpot next? (I’m joking, by the way.)
I've no idea what that is!
@@NinhLyUK Within the fictional world of Harry Potter, it's a variant of Quidditch that is uniquely popular in the United States. It's meant to be an allegory for how just as "muggle" America bucks the rest of the world's favorite form of football in favor of its own, the wizarding world's America does the same thing.
The basic gist is two teams of players fly around trying to put the ball, called the Quod, into the opposing team's goal. The gimmick is that the ball is enchanted to explode at a random time. If you're holding the ball when it explodes, then you're eliminated from the game. The team that scores the most goals wins.
NGL this looks fun af
if people weren't using brooms, then it would be less faithful to the game in the book and movie despite the concept being improvised and seem to work perfectly well. Speaking of movie based games being made into real sports, have you thought about explaining Jugger?
I have no idea what jugger is?
Ninh Ly jugger is based off the 1989 movie salute to the Juggers. And has pretty transformed into a real sport since 1995. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugger
Looks like an interesting game for sure.
Look into it ninh,
seconding the idea of a Jugger explained video. In Vienna the Jugger and the Quiddtich people are in a close relation and sometimes mix up for trainings or do socials together
All those complaints..... Yes, I'd feel kind of stupid with a broom between my legs, and perhaps certain aspects of this version of the game aren't the same as in the sport from the books. But at least they tried to create something playable as an answer to people who liked the real quidditch game. What else would you want? Use an indoor stadium and let a dove fly around to replace the golden snitch? You could, but then there is not enough room for flying safely yourself. And how would you fly? I guess you don't want to try sitting on top of a big drone with its remote in your hands, because (1) that's either impossible or too dangerous and (2) how would you be able to hold whichever ball in your hands? So, what these guys did is a nice alternative. The only thing I would probably change is the snitch player to a taller and/or stronger person, because I feel it's a bit too easy to tackle them.
In short: I agree with everything that you said.
Okay hear me out… what if instead of brooms this game was played on horseback like polo, pato or bushkazi
I say we make this game even more chaotic, ditch the brooms and put it on ice.
Arent the "brooms" a massive health and safety risk? What if someone accidentally bumps it into their gentlemen's sausage whilist trying to chase a ball
Risks of the sport, I guess?
I can't believe they turned a sport from a fantasy book into a real thing.
I bet a lot of them really think they're flying for short (maybe long) moments
I wonder if riding motorized scooters or BMX bikes would capture the idea of flying on a broom a little better than running with a stick between the legs. It would certainly be more dangerous, but eliminate the larger portion of the silliness factor in this game.
I don't know about that. It wouldn't look as ridiculous but would still probably play just as bad.
I guess they will make anything into a sport. Heck, we have Esports. Great video. I appreciate your hard work. Looking forward to your next sports video. Maybe you can explain the rules of Esports. lol
Thanks bro. I'm not sure I'm the right guy to do a video about eSports.
Ninh Ly Fair enough. Maybe you can make a video on the rules of Kickball. It is a mix between Baseball and Soccer.
Believe it or not, I only heard about Kickball this week. I'll look into it.
Ninh Ly Really? I used to play it all the time as a kid during recess in elementary school. I just recently found out that it was a professional sport. Pretty cool. Hopefully you will think about it.

I OBJECT!!!! Dodge ball has been outlawed in schools and playgrounds everywhere because "they" say it's a dangerous sport! Now here we are, not only playing a form of dodge ball, but also sporting a broom between our legs as well. Talk about "DOUBLE JEOPARDY" with this sport! First, we have the opportunity for broken noses and fingers, black eyes and bruised faces. then, as if that's not dangerous enough, now we add the possibility of actually poking an eye or a few teeth out!
Parents: We forbid you to play such a dangerous game!
Kids: I'm a full grown teenager! You can't tell me what to do!
Tantor: Yeah, It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
I believe there is also rule that is used in some places that the snitch has free reign of the local area to escape tge seeker not just the pitch
I heard that, but I don't think that rule is consistently enforced throughout every league - so I decided to leave that part out.
Ninh Ly used to be but they had to axe that rule so now the snitch has a limited space to run and the longer they evade the more restrictions they get.
The rule was done away with to allow competition to be a little more fair and accurate. There were a lot of cases where a snitch would be caught off pitch with no way of letting the head referee know that it was caught until getting back to the field, which caused huge problems at places like URI and Syracuse
Hello! I'm the president/captain of Oklahoma State Quidditch. This video is very well made, and I am wondering if it's okay if we use it on our team's campus page to help explain it easily/quickly to students? I didn't want to take it without permission.
please let me know!
Linked directly to RUclips, yes.
Downloading and hosting on your own site: no.
Cheers.
I think they should create a flying snitch which is controlled by a remote just like flying drone.
That's not a bad idea.
Another way to play is each team has a Snitch and a seeker. The object is similar to the rules in this video, except you have your seeker catch the opponent's snitch. The reason for this is because it's difficult to find someone to play as the Snitch that is 100% neutral aka gets caught easily when the team they favor is ahead.
I think that's a better idea for sure and I did wonder what would happen if a snitch favors one team over another.
they will never be assigned to be a snitch in the future ;)
snitch runners have a good reputation in our sport and the longer you last the better your reputation. additionally, being biased is grounds for the runner to be replaced and never be assigned as a runner again. and it would be a shitty move and shitty people are not welcome in our sport
Mathista Ninerone If a person has to demonstrate this offense to no longer be Snitch, that means they have already cost a team a game. It's avoided altogether by having two snitches. In the Harry Potter Series, as you know, the Snitch is not a human, but a magically-powered, unbiased, flying ball. Humans, despite reputation, will always have a bias.
Other rules we play by is only having 1 hoop per goal (lowers scoring), and we sometimes use a football (American Football, I'm American) for the quaffle to create a nice challenge.
We play with with teams of 6 (3 chasers, 2 beaters, and 1 keeper). Teams chose who becomes their seeker and snitch. This way they can strategically chose to lose a 1 beater+1 chaser, 2 beaters, or 2 chasers. The keeper cannot become either the snitch or seeker. This rule allows everyone to play at all times, and adds strategy. Both seekers and both snitches must be deployed at the same time (15 minutes mark for us). Seekers of the team with less points have no incentive to capture their opponent's Snitch, so we allow them to be the sole defender of their snitch via blocking and tackling of their opponent's seeker.
The game, as played in this video, is fun, but the rules follow the books too much to where the game isn't as exciting as it can be. Quidditch was never meant to be anything more than a fictional sport from a fantasy book. Many of the rules are a bit dumb, hence it's best played, in my opinion, with altered rules.
All these alternative rules I suggested aren't always played aka we don't always have 1 hoop per goal or use a football for the quaffle. The double snitch idea and the snitch/seeker being a former chaser/beater idea are both popular with people I play with though.
Fair explanation.
Great video, man. I'm just... uh... I kind of feel like this is a bit of a mess. The broom and those Texas shorts need to go like right now.
Thanks bro. A lot of people have a problem with the brooms.
The seekers are extra players or they convert the chasers/bludgeon Into them? It would be better if they are more tired so its not so easy to catch the snitch.
is it really nessisary to use a broomstick
LMAO YOU ACTUALLY DID IT YOU LEGEND
Also love how this sport supports all genders.
Yes, there was a lot of demand for this video so I couldn't really ignore it any longer.
What if they use a segway or a scooter instead of a stick? The segway/scooter still works as a handicap the same way the stick does but it doesn't look silly.
I think Segway sports are becoming more commonplace, so don't be surprised to see this mixed with Quidditch!
It would be better if they ditched the brooms and found some other kind of handicap. If the purpose of the broom, aside from paying homage to the books, is to ensure they only use one hand on the ball, then they could probably just make a rule like "players can only catch the ball with one hand and hold the ball with the hand they caught it in."
Crazy to think that there's a very real possibility that your grandkid could become a professional quidditch player
Harry would be proud
Thanks! I'm not sure if Daniel Radcliffe has watched my video though! ;)
Just FYI, the gender rule is 4 maximum across the whole game, it does not increase to 5 after seeker release
Ok
I have never seen Harry Potter after this video is didn't make my mind 😂😂
No, I don't believe that it would!
First and final rule:
Never talk to anyone that you are playing this.
Quidditch was created as a satire of The Eton Wall Game, this is life imitating art.
I can believe that.
Oscar Wilde is right, life imitates art.
I was wondering, there are no underwater sports, and an adaptation of quidditch could work well underwater. We could finally have a truly 3 dimensional sport
Thanks Ninh.
Anytime bro!
The madman actually did it.
I'm a madman now?
Ninh Ly didn’t you say in your top 10 weirdest sports video that you weren’t gonna make a video on the rules of quidditch?
Read the top comment.
I want to see a good compilation with loads of quidditch accidents and quidditch rage.
Sadly, I'm not the guy for that.
Dosnt seem to be much of any quidditch on RUclips, I was just looking from the bizzaro aspect , cheers
what prevents the snitch runner from favoring one team? seems like they have no incentive to be neutral? imo each team should have their own snitch that the other team try to catch
What an insane sport from a movie franchise, but if there's enough interest in anything there's enough for players and watchers.
Yes, absolutely.
Im not a Harry Potter fan but arent the players supposed to fly?
In the films and books, yes.
If you could invent flying brooms, that would solve the problem.
It would also make you very very rich.
We NEED Quidditch in a unicycle!
I'll let you be the first to play that!
Lose the stick and it will look like a professional sport.😂
DS sent me.
