Extracurriculars
Students are encouraged to partake in the wide array of after school and weekend activities offered by the school.

If students are in multiple clubs they may rotate their attendance to fit them all in (some clubs are more demanding than others).

Of note: If you have an idea for a club, let me know and I'll add it.

Table for who is in which club.

Sports
Game outcomes will be decided by a roll of the dice at players' request.
Cheerleading
Coached by Pilar Olivier and Maria Morgendorfer
Cheerleaders cheer for their house team. The squads are comprised of all years and all levels of ability. They often practice during muggle sports and rotate coaches. House teams flip a coin to decide who cheers for Quidditch teams.

Intramural Sports
Competitions are held between dorms. Much more casual than the other organized sports, usually supervised by the participating house parents. The competitions are usually held on Sunday afternoons on the muggle sports field.

Muggle Sports
Coached by Val Crinshlow
Depending on the time of year and the interest, this extracurricular changes on the whims of the coach and the students. Meetings are held Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning on the muggle sports field.

Quidditch (more info)
Coached by Frank Smith (both teams)
The original from HP. Not as popular in the US. There are two teams that play each other. The teams meet biweekly on opposite days to practice on the Quidditch pitch. They hold games every other week on Saturday afternoons. When they can arrange a game with another school they travel on the weekend or host that school's team for the afternoon.

Quodpot (more info)
Like American football, because we just have to be different. Each house has a team and their own coach. Each team has their own practice days and times that their coach signs up for. Each year culminates in a cup game between the two top scoring houses. The homecoming game takes place between last years cup teams and doesn't count toward the standings. There is usually a game every Saturday night on the Quodpot pitch.
