Just to clarify, because it seems like there was some confusion: for the Quidditch teams practice times, that is the only time you will have the pitch reserved JUST for you, but it is NOT the only time available to practice.
The Pit is open from 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday for classes and general use. If a class is in session, you may not have full use of the pitch itself, but you can certainly rent brooms and equipment to practice flying and running drills and formations. And if you've registered for a team, broom and equipment rentals are free. If your team needs to come early or stay late because of scheduling around school and work, just let me know and we'll work with you. Weekend times are also available until the games start on September 8th.
Games will be on Saturdays and Sundays. They will start in the morning, but as you may already know, Quidditch games have no official end time; they end when the Snitch is caught. Games longer than a few hours are rare, and will have breaks. Exceptionally long games may be ended after a certain amount of time at the referee's discretion.
If you've got your team names, captains, and colors chosen already, please let me know immediately* so I can update our records and schedule accordingly. The tentative game schedule can be viewed
here for anyone who's interested.
*ooc: i'll be sending out emails about this shortly.
