Quidditch Tryouts: Term 69

After a rough start needing a few days recovery, Amelia was ready to get these Tryouts underway and see what sort of talent Hogwarts brought this year. There were always those quidditch 'prodigies' that seemed to pop in every couple years. While she might have been on bedrest, that didn't mean her brain wasn't constantly swirling with ideas of how to discover new talents. The next few hours should hopefully uncover the best of the best for each house.

"Welcome to another year of Hogwarts Quidditch. I'm Professor Adara, your flying instructor and quidditch referee, when I'm not down in down the dungeons teaching potions. Some of you also know me as your coach for the England Under 17 team," She looked over to Nadia and Jansher and Emma. Although Jansher played for Scotland, that didn't mean she didn't see him when England and Scotland played each other.

"I presume if you're trying out for quidditch you're familiar with the selection process, but each house team will consist of three chasers, two beaters, one seeker, one keeper. There will be three reserve players selected for each team. Just because you were on the team last year does not guarantee a spot this year." Behind her was the familiar obstacle course set up.

"Various stations exist to showcase your speed and agility, those chaser and keeper hopefuls should head to the goalposts to take turns passing the quaffle while a keeper tries to defend them. Beater hopefuls aim their bludgers at the targets over there - let's save bludger attacks on your opposing players for an actual match." She was still feeling not her full self and thereby didn't fancy having to heal anyone. "Seeker hopefuls - there's at least two snitches flying around, catch them. You can try out as many of these stations as time allows, even if it's not your preferred position."

Looking around at each of the prospects, she then flicked her wand behind her. "Oh and one more thing to help offer a bit more of a challenge this year. I've manifested a snowstorm on the pitch to see how each of you fare with the decreased visibility. And you may begin. Good luck. " As she said so, she kicked off into the air to hover on her own broomstick for enhanced reffing abilities.

ooc: As was the case last term, only one post is required in tryouts, so I've laid out all the instructions in my first post rather than a welcome / waiting period. If you've yet to make your three posts for the term, posts here do count but that just means you need a total of four posts, whether that's all four in here, three elsewhere and one here... whatever combination, as long as at least one post in tryouts. Please indicate your position preference in your title - or at least what 'station' your character is at. Be realistic. You'll have ten days, so until January 28th to complete the required post(s) and questionnaire. With rosters hopefully to be posted around January 31st. We'll be around for reactionary posts and/or guidance. Any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask myself or the Wizarding World Admin (Charley Potter or sweetpinkpixie). Happy flying
