Open Y50 Ilvermorny Quidditch Tryouts

[Kathryne Andrews]

Kit was excited for her last year of school and quidditch. Sure, they hadn't been winning games, but she just had a feeling this was their year. The seventh year didn't take but a few moments after she noticed tryouts should begin and looked at the group of current and potential teammates. "Hi, everyone, I'm Kit. I'm the captain this year and play chaser. We're looking for a few other chasers as well as some other positions so this is your time to shine. Team, help out those trying out. If you're trying out, let me know your name and the position you're going for. Then, do your absolute best to show up our current roster," she joked before giving her teammates the go ahead to take to the sky. "Alright, who's first?"

Out of Character:

Current team members just need to post to keep their spot. Second years and up can tryout for now. PM me with any questions!

[Summer Halliwell]

Summer showed up to tryouts and greeted her friend and captain Kit and waited with her and her teammates while the hopefuls took their place. Once the tryouts got started Summer mounted her broom and joined in to help people out.

 

[Amias Driscoll]

Amias had decided that Ilvermorny was the school for him, for at least a year, and in that he knew he wanted to get involved, wanted to figure out how to make friends and have just a good time in amongst the other students. So he found himself on the pitch looking at the various other people and then the captain. After the introduction Amias stepped forward, "Amias Driscoll and chaser," he introduced with a polite expression.

he took his broom and shot up into the air, immediately trying to get the quaffle, despite having been a chaser and generally being pretty timid, Amias was trying to prove himself and thus was trying very hard to do well. He was able to intercept a few times, and passed the quaffle on. He had a few shots on goal, most were on target but only two went in. He just needed to get faster at that aspect of it. He continued, until the try-out was over and he settled back on the ground.

 

[Mason Phillips]

Mason was ready and prepared for the upcoming season of Quidditch. He practised as much as he could. He listened to what Kathryne had said before flying up in the air with the rest of the team. Mason practised his usual hits with the bludgers when he could, as well as some defence. He also reluctantly helped those who were trying out. It wasn't long until they were back on the ground.

 

[Reiji Hamasaki]

Ray waved to Kit as he lined up with his bat. He enjoyed playing beater. It wasn't as good as playing baseball, he had to admit, but he had fun all the same. He hoped they'd have a better time of it this year, and used the opportunity to practice his aerial beater skills a bit more while others tried out.

 

[Briony Nichols]

Briony had never really thought about playing quidditch much, but since her visit with Maggie and Bea over the summer, the idea had been lingering. She headed down to the pitch and waved to her cousins' cousin Kit as she instructed them what they should be doing during tryouts and then gave a big smile as she stood up for her turn. "Briony Nichols, trying out for seeker," she said in her most confident voice.

The second year kicked off the ground unsteadily as she tried to look for the snitch. It had disappeared, and Briony did a few laps around the field, avoiding bludgers for the most part and only getting once, which nearly knocked her off the broom. Finally, she saw a shimmer across the field and headed towards it, reaching out her hands. It moved away and she tried to follow, playing a game of cat and mouse before finally getting ahold of it with just her finger tips. She smiled and held it up for Kit to see before letting it go. She didn't catch the snitch again, and the second time she was hit with a bludger, she actually fell off her broom, but otherwise, she thought it was a good tryout.

Tryouts will close in 48 hours.

 

[March Chase]

March grinned as he walked around the pitch, looking at what was going to be his team mates this year, he popped up onto his broom and flew about, watching the hopefuls and watching Kathryne. It would be interesting to see how things go this year, with Kirby out of play, since she'd graduated, he might have a turn now to shine even more.​
