With Chaser tryouts done and a hearty meal settling in his stomach, Colin returned to the pitch for the next tryout session. The man had to admit that this was the tryout he was most looking forward to spectating. In his glory days he played Keeper, so he was, needless to say, going into the session expecting great things.

A smile was present as a number of students arrived. He hoped they were all rather energized from their meal, especially those who had already been at least once of the tryout sessions that morning.

"Good afternoon," the man responded to those that greeted him. Accompanying nods of his head were given to Tamesis, Kowalski, and Thomas as they joined the ranks. He was even surprised that only one 'professor' had been said. Within time he'd get used to the title, or the students would just settle on calling him 'Sir' or "MacKenzie' like he preferred. Professor was a term that, in his opinion, aged him (never mind the fact that he was old, but that was only a number in his opinion).

The moment the Captains were all accounted for and the hand on his watch struck 1 o'clock, the Flying instructor did not hesitate to get the session started. "Here we go, potential Keepers. The moment ye've all been waitin' fer: tryouts for arguably the best position on the team."

Naturally, Colin was beaming. They all knew of his legacy, yes?

"For those of you who participated in or watched the tryouts that took place this morning, the Keeper tryouts will be done a bit differently. Each of ye will take turns individually defending the hoops just like ye would during a match. Three of the dummies will be charmed to fly around like Chasers and they will be the ones attempting to score, and ye will need to block as many shots as you can within the ten-minute time limit given to ye."

The man did pause to allow for any questions to be asked, but he was confident there wouldn't be any. The Keeper position was pretty self explanatory after all. But one never knew.

"Put on the rest of yer gear, get some stretchin' in, and get into position at the hoops when yer name is called. Good luck!"

OOC: Hello, Keeper candidates! Welcome to your tryout session, and thank you for joining us! Colin and I are so pleased that you are here. For those of you who are interested in tryout out but have yet to post, feel free to join us at your earliest convenience. Don't forget to fill out the Quidditch Tryout form. This does need to be completed before tryouts end on May 18th in order to be considered for the House Quidditch team.

For the Keeper tryouts, your character will need to 1) defend the three goal hoops and 2) prevent the dummies from scoring as many times as possible. Throughout the tryout, you will be interacting with The Narrator account. The Narrator will inform you of the dummies' actions (the amount of passing between them, their speed, etc.), when the Quaffle has been shot by a dummy, and the outcome of your character's efforts. There may also be some other surprises along the way so keep your eyes peeled for them. This is all very open-ended, so let's have some fun with this! ^___^

Those trying out for the Keeper position will be called up individually by last name. Logistically OOC you all will be completing your tryout at the same time, but IC your characters will be at the hoops one at a time.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to address them to Colin IC or myself OOC.
