Instructions

    There should be three chasers. These players will be flying around the field only to pass the quaffel to each other. These chasers are supposed to move the ball in such a way that they can score by throwing the quaffel through the three hoops which have been placed at both the ends of the pitch. One team tries to put the quaffer through one side of the hoops, while the other tries to score on the other side.

    One player is supposed to get selected as a goalkeeper or a goalie. The job of the goalie is to guard the three hoops. He/she should be able to reflect all the shots which come their way from the chasers who will try to score by putting the quaffel into those hoops.

    Two players from each team are chosen as beaters. Beaters carry a small bat around in order to hit bluggers. What are bluggers? Bluggers are always heading towards the other team: that is what beaters are supposed to do. And they can do it by guiding the bluggers through the small bats which they carry.
