I dont think that Ron is not a Quidditch Player because he lacks a 
broom. In SS, once Harry is recognized as a valuable Quidditch 
Player, he is sent a broom, with a note attached from Professor 
McGonagall, saying not to open the package at the table. So... did 
she send him the broom? Or did someone else send it to him and I 
forgot? (I am re-reading SS and have not come across who sent Harry 
the broom, yet)

If McGonagall did send Harry the broom, she could send Ron one as 
well.
