Anelisse Yerett Oliveri Rivera MDI. Anelisse Yerett Oliveri Rivera _________________ President Signature MDM. Carmen Sosa Garza _________________ Secretary Signature LDI. Guadalupe Cortés Franco _________________ Counsellor Signature LEF. Marco Antonio Sosa García _________________ Alternate Signature Dr. Aurelio Dominguez Gutiérrez Department Director Main Campus Querétaro, Qro. September 2017 1 SUMMARY In order to optimize the conditions of quidditch development as a sport, the following quantitative investigation with experimental design is made to improve the scoring equipment quality which actual teams have promoting the standardization and better use of human and material resources with which teams count. Given the recent creation of the sport based on the Harry Potter books’ game, there’s no standardization or regulation in the game components as the sport’s equipment. This thesis focuses on the creation of a set of quidditch hoops since it’s here where the highest incidence in failures and accidents can be observed due to instability, breaking off or dislodging and crashes against players. At the end of the redesign application of a hoop set that “Don’t fall. Don’t break. Don’t Move” will result in a ascertainable improvement in the use and access of materials and spare parts and the facilitation

  • The Chance to Give It a Go: Sport Participation for Developmentally Vulnerable Children
    The chance to give it a go: Sport participation for developmentally vulnerable children By Shawn Stevenson, B.A. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Deakin University May 2018 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I owe the impetus of this thesis to the children and families I have had the privilege of learning from along this journey of mine. The children have taught me the value of play while flying rocket ships, kicking soccer balls, playing foursquare, endless jumps off of diving boards, hours upon hours in the water, and a shared love for motorbikes. Families have demonstrated the courage to be the real game changers on the road to greater inclusion and diversity in society. Families have tirelessly advocated to receive better support not only for their children but for those who follow. Thankfully, my education has spanned academics, sport, travel and work life. I owe a lot to my parents who dropped me off for early morning practices and picked me up late into the night. My mom especially has embodied resilience, sacrifice and generosity. She always put us first, and I am forever grateful for the opportunities you have given us. While I may be far from home, I am blessed to feel at home in Australia. Fellow students and friends have offered kindness, humour and support. Katie, one of the most intelligent, hardest working people I know, has spoiled me immensely from start to finish. I would be remiss not to mention the great pastime of Aussie Rules Footy.

  • Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Draft V1.2 21 April 2020
    Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Draft v1.2 21 April 2020 This draft is prepared for consultation with members of Quidditch Australia, and is not for general distribution. Quidditch Australia Inc Draft Strategic Plan V1.2_ 21 April 2020 1 Introducing Australian quidditch Australian quidditch is a relatively young sport – first introduced here in 2010 and played competitively from 2011. Initially inspired by JK Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter series and adapted in the United States in 2005, quidditch attracts people who are seeking a new experience that is interesting, strategic and fun to play, athletes and competitive sportspeople seeking new challenges and experiences, as well as fans of the series. Quidditch is the leading gender-integrated sport in Australia, uniquely recognising gender diversity in its rules and values. The sense of community is a strong feature of quidditch in Australia and friendships develop across teams, states and internationally. Our people are our greatest asset – volunteers who make things happen, govern our sport, plan and run our events, play, referee and coach. Highlight achievements: Over 30 competitive teams XXX qualified/certified referees World Champions 2016 – the Dropbears – Team Australia Video series for referee training New website https://www.quidditchaustralia.org/ launched February 2020 etc Why a strategic plan? Preparing Quidditch Australia to meet the needs of quidditch in Australia and advancing quidditch in Australia in the next 5 years, this strategic plan lays out Quidditch Australia’s vision, mission, values, strategic priorities and goals. It will guide decision-making for the national Board and state organisations, inform the development of more detailed and specific annual strategies and action items, and be held as a document of accountability that reflects the aspirations and interests of Quidditch Australia’s members.
