Welcome to the Florida Quidditch scene! I have some experience with having to cobble equipment together in a hurry, so hopefully I can be of some help there.

Brooms: PVC is your friend- more specifically, 10' x 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC. It's only about $2 per pipe, and each one makes 3 brooms. You can cap them if you want, but I would highly recommend buying some kind of colored tape to wrap them. You can get your team's colors, and let each player customize their own broom (this helps with any disappointment about not using "real brooms").

Balls: The official quaffle is a Baden Matchpoint size 5, but any (probably cheaper) volleyball will do the trick. Cheap dodgeballs can easily be found at walmart or similar places. Same with tennis balls for the snitch.

Hoops: This is probably the hardest part, as costs can rack up in a hurry if you don't remember you need 6 of everything. My method probably isn't the best/prettiest, but it got the job done for us last year. You need 3 parts for these:

  1. Base: You need a base with enough stability to keep the hoop standing up, but that is also light enough to be carried easily. We use LSU bases, screencapped here from an older rulebook.

  2. Pole: Depending on what size PVC you use for the base, you want to use a PVC size that will fit over the middle T joint. Friction can hold the pieces together at first, but you'll probably want to drill a hole through the pole and the T-joint so you can secure them with a removable pin.

  3. Hoop: There are much more durable/official looking things you can use, but my team just uses hula hoops. Get a plastic T-joint, make a cut through the hula hoop, then attach the hoop to the joint with 2 screws on the bottom and 2 screws on the back. You can drill another hole through the T-joint and the top of the pole if you don't want the hoop to fly off every time you hit it.

    As for the other stuff like headbands, whistles, etc, just ask your players, chances are between everyone, you'll already have a lot of what you need.
