The NYDC Capitalists is an IQA official community team with branches located in New York, N.Y. and Washington D.C. The brainchild of four former university captains, NYDC has a highly competitive roster composed of quidditch notables and medaled athletes from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
In November 2013, NYDC was one of 80 teams to qualify for World Cup VII, the event of the season. The catch is, it is in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., which is quite the trek from our cities. That is where you come in!
We would greatly appreciate it if you would donate to our campaign and distribute the link to this page! Your donations will go directly toward reimbursing the Capitalists for their WCVII travel expenses.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping us get one step closer to our dream of taking home the Cup!
What is Quidditch?
Muggle Quidditch, a co-ed, full-contact sport, has grown from a game started by Middlebury College students in 2005 to an internationally recognized sport with more than 500 teams in existence. The International Quidditch Association (IQA) now holds an annual Quidditch World Cup where teams compete for the title of IQA World Cup Champion.

Where do the dollars go?
We are composed of teachers and college students, assistants and designers, among other odd jobs. Most of us do not bring home a large paycheck and this trip is an expensive undertaking. Here’s what your donations will help us purchase:
- Transportation for 21 players--planes, trains and automobiles.
- World Cup VII registration: $400
- Hotel rooms so we do not have to sleep in our cars: $2,604
