1st Annual Champagne Cup

Quidditch, that magical co-ed sport from the Harry Potter series has made it to the Hamptons.

This real-life sport has been spreading around the globe in colleges and high schools resulting in over 500 teams in the USA alone and at least 2 on every continent except Antarctica.  Quidditch combines rugby, basketball, dodge, and tag – along with the iconic brooms – into a game that is best understood by seeing it and learned by playing it.

Now on July 21st, it comes to the Hamptons in the form of the 1st Annual Champagne Cup. Come ask questions, laugh at the hilarious acts, and pick up a broom for yourself.
