US Quidditch

USQ's core values are:

We establish the foundation for long-term sustainability through innovation, regulations, and expansion.
We provide competitive opportunities for every level of athlete.
We build a safe, inclusive, and respectful community.
We strive to be a leader in gender inclusivity for all age groups.
We create meaningful community partnerships.
We develop and empower future leaders.

Our current strategic plan covers FYE 2019 to 2020, and had three key priorities:
1) Retention: Ensuring league stability and sustainability is focused on retention of current members, and providing high quality
services and programs.
2) Recruitment: Growing the number of official members in the league and overall size of the sport in the United States involves
recruitment of new players and teams.
3) Reach: Improving communication and marketing will expand the reach of the organization within our community and
of the sport in general.

USQ has three employees and over 70 regular and temporary volunteers. We have to connections to sports organizations like NIRSA and Sports ETA, as well as national governing bodies and other sports leagues. Over the past year, we have released several resources for teams to support them in their development, including guides for recruitment and fundraising. 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.

Our FYE 2016 to 2018 strategic plan saw great success as we tracked the progress each year of benchmarks to achieve our overarching goals. We continue positive progress with our 2019 to 2021 strategic plan, and are already seeing great success through achievements like receiving the winning bid for Quidditch World Cup and the Pan-American Games, plus expanding resource availability. We look forward to continuing to accomplish our strategic plan goals.
