I'm a member of my school's cheerleading team, and last Thursday, we got the worst news we could ever get...that our team was going to be grounded. This means that we can't do anything where our feet leave the ground, including stunts, jumps, basket tosses, pyramids, and tumbling. Here's the story in our school newspaper that's coming out today:

I was wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else's squads, and what you did about it. We're looking for ways to fight this, and we're sure that the school and community will also be angry at this decision and support us. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
And, if you feel compelled to do so, email me and I'll give you the athletic director's email info so you can send him a nice little letter.
I hope this never happens to anyone else's teams...its such a heartbreaker when you've worked so hard at something and it won't get the chance to pay off in the end.
