The strategic plan released at the start of the 2015-16 season lays out USQ's strategic priorities and goals for the three fiscal years. The document guides decision-making, resource allocation, and prioritization of work. USQ's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, and this plan encompasses July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018. Our 3 strategies are: shape and grow the sport of quidditch; strengthen trust in, and identification with, the US Quidditch brand; and ensure US Quidditch is organizationally and financially sustainable.

USQ has four employees and over 70 regular and temporary volunteers. We have to connections to sports organizations like NIRSA and Athlete Ally, as well as fandom organizations like The Harry Potter Alliance and Transfiguring Adopting. Over 60% of our college teams are now club sports at their universities, which allows quidditch play to be more regulated, safer, and gives our teams bigger budgets to travel to more events. We receive financial and administrative assistance from dozens of cities across the United States to partner with us for major events that positively affect the growth of the sport and the communities in which quidditch is played.

Quidditch has proven to be much more than a fad: our national championship consistently attracts thousands of paying spectators, and we have nearly 4,000 registered players in the United States. More schools are accepting quidditch as a club sport. Cities are willing to pay to host our events, and our events have a very positive reception within communities. In 2013 we hired our first employees, quadrupling our organizational productivity. We have also been investing in professional development for our employees and our volunteers, to ensure that our organizational capacity continues increasing.

We have laid down a good foundation to achieve our goals, although all of our core values are ongoing, we can always do and accomplish more. As our staff works together on our next strategic plan, our progress will only speed up.
