QuadballUK facilitates the main competitive quadball season for UK quadball clubs by organising fixtures and tournaments throughout the year, for both university and community teams.

Events

As the IQA World Cup approaches, excitement and anticipation have been building within the England camp. After two years of dedicated preparation, the squad is ready to showcase its talent on the world stage.

The excitement is palpable for both the coaching team and player group. Everyone has worked incredibly hard to get England to be in the best possible position, and now is the time for them to take on the world with a lion on their chests and pride in their hearts.

Competing at a World Cup is one of the most special things you can do as a Quadball player, and they’re ready to embrace the challenge.

England’s build-up to the tournament has been comprehensive. They've held monthly training camps in London, covering a broad spectrum of technical, tactical, and physical aspects of the game. They also travelled to Norway in May to compete against some of the other top nations in Europe and get some high-quality reps in before the big dance in Belgium.

Focused, ambitious, and aiming for the top spot. Throughout the years, England has always been about striving for excellence and representing our country and community at the highest possible level. They are going for gold, as every country should be, and they want to be a team that the players are proud to play for and fans across the world love to watch.

There’s also a strong emphasis on the experience and development of the players. Specifically, they want the players to relish the experience of pulling on an England shirt, whether for the first or fiftieth time, and show the world what they’re capable of. Regardless of what happens in Belgium, we hope the experience makes them hungry for more as we head into the next World Cup cycle and the future of UK Quadball.

Reflecting on the European Games 2024, where England finished as runners-up to an incredible German side, the team has taken valuable lessons on board.

Looking ahead to the fixtures in Belgium, several nations stand out as exciting challenges, and England finds itself with some exciting matches in the group stages.

Alongside fellow United Kingdom side, Wales, England will also face off against the Basque Country and old rivals Canada and Australia.  Both Wales and the Basque Country boast some great talent, with the Basque Country scoring a win against England in the 2023 Quadball Nations Cup.

Historically, Canada has been a fiercely competitive rival, and England knows that facing them will be a fantastic opening match to kickstart their World Cup campaign.

And for the first time in nearly 12 years, England will finally face former world champions Australia in an official IQA World Cup match. This group game is sure to be electric and physical for both nations.

Beyond the group stage opponents, there is one team that every top nation has its eyes on.

England, of course, wants to take on the four-time world champions, the USA. With their pedigree in the sport, playing against them is the ultimate test of whether you have what it takes to be a world champion. After their last encounter in 2018 as Team UK, England would embrace a rematch with the USA and do whatever they can to make it a match for the ages.

The England squad boasts a mixture of experience and fresh talent.

Voted Team Europe Keeper at European Games 2024, Ben Malpass is a force to be reckoned with and is always a tough presence for opponents to control.

Michael Vong is an incredible beater and always puts on a show for the crowd, and Tash Ferenczy's persistence and courage is matched only by her work rate to excel in the game.

Ed Brett is also making his return to Team England, with power and passion both on and off the pitch. World Cup debutants Will Brilliant, James Martin and Khushi Sampat bring so much energy and athleticism to the squad.

And finally, England captain Bex Lowe is one of the fiercest competitors out there and provides great leadership, experience, and consistency in every game she plays.

As the Quadball World Cup approaches, excitement and anticipation has been building within the England camp. After two years of dedicated preparation, the squad is ready to showcase its talent on the world stage.

Team England Gears Up for the IQA World Cup

With the IQA World Cup on the horizon, anticipation is building within the National Welsh Quadball team as they prepare for their biggest tournament to date.

Team members are buzzing with excitement, and for good reason. This tournament marks a step up in both physical and competitive demands, but the squad is ready to rise to the occasion.

This is a self-described massive opportunity for the Welsh, joining Scotland as debutants at the IQA World Cup - it’s  the biggest tournament any of them will have ever played in, and will be a huge step up, both competitively and physically across the three days.

But Wales are coming into it strong, excited, and determined to leave their mark.

Players from the team also shared their individual thoughts

The team has been putting in months of hard work to prepare for the tournament.

They've been building the training schedule up and up in the run-in over these past few months, both in frequency and intensity. Outside of this they've been focused on fitness ready for Wales' first three day tournament, with bronco runs at training, and players sharing their physical activities outside of quadball collectively. In addition, everyone in the squad has been working really hard and pushing at their club training in preparation for the world cup.

Wales is approaching the World Cup with a simple aim.

Compete hard and win as many games as possible.

The aim is fairly straightforward: to compete as strongly as they can, and to win as many games as they can. They highlighted that they know there will be some teams who Wales know they will potentially struggle with competitively, and this is just a fact. But in those games their aim is to perform at their highest level and to play up.

But ultimately, with any teams they go up against, their aim is to win.

Although there are a few changes to the squad setup since the European Games, the core approach remains the same.

They have a smaller roster than at EG, and will be missing Chazz Mcleod who was the Head Coach in 2024, as well as Lucy Nicholls who was the previous manager but now remains as a player. But generally they want to keep and build upon the setup they both created, and maintain the good performances and lessons from the European Games. They also highlighted the exciting additions of two players who weren’t in the 2024 squad in Simon Jessop and Sana Siva.

One of the most exciting aspects of the World Cup is the opportunity to face teams from outside Europe and the United Kingdom, with Wales specifically highlighting the Latin American team in their World Cup group.

Alongside the Latin American team, Wales will also face off against Austria, Poland, and England in the pool stages.

But one possible fixture remains top of mind for Team Wales, and a potential Wales-Scotland showdown at some stage over the World Cup is an exciting prospect for both the Welsh and Scottish sides.

With plenty of talent across the squad, there are several players worth keeping an eye on.

There’s a lot of talent spread across the squad but the coaching staff have selected some of the newer players to keep an eye on.

United Welsh Universities' Chaser trio Kirsty McCabe, Simon Jessop, and Ryan Fairhurst are all expected to unleash some damage at this tournament with their goal-scoring threats.

Robyn Lancelotte and Isobel Hecks are both coming off fantastic first full seasons in the community league with Olympians.

And outside of the young and fresh players camp, there’s the weathered hand of Jake Adcock as captain who will no doubt be creating and scoring numerous goals while (in their coaches' words) looking really smug about it.

Wales Are Making Their Mark at the IQA World Cup

Next week, Team Scotland will be heading to Belgium to compete in the IQA World Cup for the first time, marking a major milestone as the team makes its debut appearance - and the squad couldn’t be more excited to finally represent Scotland on a world cup stage.

It’s a proud moment for the squad, many of whom have played internationally before, but never under the Scotland name at the IQA World Cup.

Scotland has been putting in the work. This season saw the team working under new Head Coach Ben Zinger, with support from a group of experienced assistant coaches who joined the programme earlier this year.

With consistent national team training sessions, including intense training weekends and focused tactics sessions in the last six months, their players’ efforts will be on full display this World Cup.

The squad’s preparation has been focused, consistent, and tailored toward development, both tactically and as a team.

While Scotland’s eyes are on improvement, they’re not only thinking about results - they are aiming to improve their performance against previous international tournaments, but most importantly to have a good time at their first World Cup.

It’s about showing what they’ve built and enjoying the experience at the same time. This tournament marks a new era for the team, and they’re keen to make the most of it.

The success of Edinburgh at the most recent British Quadball Cup, coupled with the new talent coming through north of the border means it's an exciting time for Team Scotland. We're excited for what this means for Scotland, and for them to bring their absolute best next week.

Scotland competed at the European Games in London last year and say they’re heading into this event with a refreshed mindset. They see this tournament as a marker of progress - a chance to demonstrate just how far they’ve come in a short space of time.

When asked about specific players to keep an eye out for in Belgium, Scotland kept it close to the chest.

With all the work and momentum behind them, it’s safe to say Scotland will be a team worth watching in Belgium. Whether it’s their first appearance or not, they’re going in ready to give it absolutely everything.

Best of luck to you, Scotland, we're behind you all the way.

Alice Twist to head up the QUK Events Department

In the Community division, six teams competed for glory across two days of intense action in the mid-May sunshine. The major storyline going into the weekend was the race for number 3. Velociraptors QC, London QC and reigning champions Werewolves of London Firsts had all previously won two BQC titles each, but who would get the elusive third? Or would a new challenger add their name to the honours list?
