Although excessive force can warrant a foul during a match, players have been known to run into each other, which comes from Shuntbumps, a mid-air jousting game of the brooms.
Like soccer, or football to the rest of the world, fouls are an important part of regulating game play during a Quidditch match. They protect players from injury and ensure a fair game, for the most part. As you can imagine, introducing magic into a game of sport brings with it all kinds of creative ways to trip up an opponent. In fact, it was during the final of the Quidditch World Cup when what constitutes a foul was really put to the test.

The Quaffle, as it looks when the events of the Harry Potter series takes place, came about in the 19th Century when Gripping Charms were invented, doing away with handles and holes. A witch by the name of Daisy Pennifold came up with the idea of enchanting the Quaffles to make them fall slower, so players could snatch them up again before they hit the ground.
Thus, modern Quaffles are referred to as Pennifold Quaffles, to pay tribute to this valuable addition to the game of Quidditch.

Since whoever catches the Snitch usually wins the game, Seekers get fouled the most, which also prolongs the game.
