Grounded Players Feel Cheated As VC Quidditch Team Can Only Afford A Few Flying Broomsticks

          As the college's Quidditch Team prepares for their spring season, they have decided to put the majority of their budget towards purchasing several flying broomsticks. These are state-of-the-art broomsticks that allow players to fly up to 3 feet off the ground. The college administration has voiced concern about the safety of  these devices as several students have already injured themselves by falling off. 

          But the major controversy came when the captains announced that there would not be enough new broomsticks for the whole team. Only senior players get to use them, which has caused a split in the team dynamics. On a practical level, the players on the ground are expected to continue running drills as they will need their legs for speed, while players on brooms practice flying around campus. Practice is extremely disorganized as flying players will take possession of the ball, keeping it from grounded players, and vice versa. This formidable game of keep-away is likely to last as long as the team uses flying broomsticks.
