SUPPORT A FUTURE WHERE EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY.

US Quadball has always been different. We’re one of the only sports leagues in the world that has prioritized gender inclusivity since day one. But inclusion doesn’t sustain itself—it needs people like you behind it.

We’re launching the Beyond the Binary campaign, a month-long effort to fund programs and opportunities for transgender, non-binary, and other LGBTQ2IA+ athletes in our sport, including a season grant.

We’re calling on our community to:

Help us raise $5,000
Bring in 10+ new recurring donors
Champion the athletes who make this sport what it is

Whether you give $5 or $50, one-time or monthly, your gift helps us provide grants, programming, and safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ players across the country.

BOARD SHOWDOWN

Our board is putting their fundraising power—and their dignity—on the line! Each board member has their own fundraising bar, and you can choose who to support by selecting their name under “Team Member” on the this page or after clicking the "Donate" button.

Here’s the twist: the board member who raises the least funds will spend their Friday before the 2027 USQ Cup Fantasy Football-style—in a Waffle House (or similar diner)—livestreaming, interviewing players, and embracing the syrupy chaos.

Donate today to save your favorite board member from the Waffle House and fuel a future for inclusive quadball.

COMMUNITY INCENTIVE

Community engagement is at the heart of the campaign. The “Refer a Donor” challenge encourages volunteers and USQ members to spread the word and bring new supporters into the fold. Anyone who recruits three first-time donors—who must note in their donation that they’re giving on your behalf—or who raises at least $150, will receive exclusive USQ merchandise, including a 2027 USQ Cup shirt or hat and a Beyond the Binary sticker pack.

WHAT IS US QUADBALL?

US Quadball, the national governing body for quadball in the United States, is proud to serve quadball with the same level of passion that athletes, coaches, officials, and fans bring every time they step on the pitch.

We work with dedicated leaders and community members across the country to create opportunities for people to play, learn, and grow in the sport while ensuring safety, inclusivity, and a welcoming environment for all.

Quadball was founded in 2005 at Middlebury College by Xander Manshel and Alex Benepe. Inspired by the sport of quidditch, quadball is a mixed-gender contact sport with a unique mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball, and tag. A quadball team consists of up to 21 athletes, with seven players per team on the field. Each player must keep a broom between their legs at all times.

Today, US Quadball supports thousands of athletes, coaches, and volunteers nationwide. We continue to invest in the sport’s future by providing competitive opportunities, building community partnerships, and leading the way in gender equity and inclusivity.

We’re ready to take quadball even further. Join us.
