WOMEN IN QUADBALL REFERRAL

COLLEGE STARTUP

Everything You Need to Start a College Team

Starting a college quadball team from scratch can feel overwhelming. USQ’s College Startup Program is designed to make it easier by lowering the financial and logistical barriers that often stand between interested students and a sustainable program.

New and developing college teams can apply to receive support including free or discounted memberships, equipment, recruitment resources, mentorship, and more—giving you the tools you need to get players on the pitch and build a program that lasts.

Benefits

  • Get help lowering the cost of getting your first roster registered with USQ through complimentary or discounted player memberships for eligible programs.

  • You can't play quadball without hoops and balls. Eligible teams can receive equipment support to help get practices started, including access to USQ’s Let the Kids Play Grant for programs in need of a set of hoops.

  • Gain access to ready-to-use recruitment materials, graphics, guides, and best practices designed specifically for college quadball programs. Spend less time figuring out where to start and more time getting new players onto the pitch.

  • We'll help you go from your first practice to your first competition. New teams can receive guidance on rules, officials requirements, scheduling games, finding nearby opponents, and understanding what your team needs to compete in USQ events.

  • You don't have to build your team alone. Connect with experienced members of the quadball community and USQ staff who can help you navigate recruitment, campus recognition, practices, leadership transitions, fundraising, and other challenges that come with building a program.

  • Joining USQ connects your program to college teams and players across the country. Build relationships with nearby programs, attend USQ events and workshops, and become part of a community invested in helping new teams succeed.
