House Quodpot
Quodpot is an American version of quidditch that was accidentally created when one Abraham Peasegood's wand came into contact with a Quaffle in his trunk. The result was an exploding quaffle which came to be known as a quod. The game is played on brooms between two teams of eleven players, the offensive team tries to get the quod in the pot at the other end of the field before the quod explodes. The game is played much like American football. Each house has their own team shown here

Quidditch
Coached by Candice Walker and Oliver Witherspoon
Quidditch is a game from HP canon. It is a game played on brooms between two teams of seven players. It is not as popular in the US as it is in Europe so there are only two teams at the school. Every other Saturday is a quidditch game, the first game of the month is always against the other magical schools with quidditch teams. The second game is a home game, team one against team two.

Cheerleading
Each house has their own cheerleading squad. Each team has a cheering captain who is an upperclassman (11-12) who schedules practices and teaches the other cheerleaders. There have never been cheer coaches. The teams switch off who cheers for quidditch games.
