What is Quadball?
Quadball is a fast-paced, mixed-gender sport, first played in 2005 at Middlebury College, Vermont. Since then, it has grown to be played in over 30 countries across the globe, with around 40 teams currently competing in the UK.
In the UK, Quadball is governed by QuadballUK. You can find out more about Quadball at a few of the following links:

Club History
OUQC was founded by Angus Barry on 20th November 2011, and was one of the first Quadball clubs founded in the UK.
Since then, the club has had an exciting history, growing in membership to the point where for many years, the club had two teams: the more competitive Radcliffe Chimeras (ex-national champions, winning the first and third British Quadball Cups in 2013 and 2016 and more recently the Development Cup 2020), and the Oxford Quidlings, a more relaxed second team.
Currently, the Chimeras compete at regional and national tournaments in the regular QuadballUK season, and OUQC continues to welcome players of all abilities and backgrounds.
