This season has been rough. I'm on an ICE team and a HS team and their times conflict all the time. I tore my ACL and have been out most of the season and was estimated to be released last week, most cheerleaders know that the release time is never right. It wasn't right, I didn't get released leaving my HS team to compete with me marking the whole routine this past Saturday. ICE's first competition isn't until the end of Nov. so i don't have much to worry about there. I'm now scheduled to get released in less than 4 weeks. I pleaded the head coach (HS) to get an alternate all summer and beginning of the school year for me, she refused and told me I could get all my tumbling, basing, etc. back in a week. (<<i have no idea where she got this idea) At the competition we looked a mess and got second to last (3/4 of the mess wasn't my fault). Regionals is in 2 weeks and state is the week after. My teammates always talk what I'm going to do for the competitions, why i didn't get an alternate etc. They also complain how I get out of practices all the time and how I don't do anything. They scheduled over my all-star practice and expected me to be at their practice majority of the time and the things I don't do are out of fear that i'll re-tear my ACL. There's been tons of talk trying to get an alternate for me in the team at practices. I just got a text from my coach telling she wants to "talk" to me. I assume it's about an alternate. My mom isn't accepting it and is fed up with all this crap that they're giving me about not doing anything for the team and such, she thinks they should've gotten an alternate when I asked... On the other hand I kinda want them to get one because they're not gonna do very well without one, but then again I'm not okay just being kicked off a team for an injury.... Don't get me wrong I'm all for my team winning and having a great season, but i don't get how it's okay for the team voting for me to get an alternate/replacement? I feel like I'm getting kicked off, and have no idea what to do or say about it.
What are your opinions? Should I tell my coach no I want to keep competing? or should I quit? Has this happened to you? anything?
