THE CLUB

OSI Quidditch is a sports team associated with the University of Oslo, and we play muggle quidditch.

In Norway we compete in the Norwegian Championship (NM), Oslo Open and the Norwegian Quidditch League (NQL). The club has participated in several European Championship (EQC). Several of our players have also been selected to represent Norway on the national teams over the past years.

We practice 2-3 times a week near Blindern. Everybody is welcome to try out, student or no student. We use Spond as a platform for training times and other events, but are also active both on Facebook and Instagram. In our team exists a good social environment, which consists of cabin trips, game nights, end of semester parties and other social gatherings. Each semester we have the opportunity to participate in different tournaments outside of the bigger ones. These tournaments give good travel opportunities. 

We are friendly to everyone, even if you don’t speak Norwegian. So it’s good to know that practices will be held in English. Love from your coaches.
