flyer

Hello parents, I need feedback to see if what my Daughter is experiencing is normal. She is a JV cheerleader for a junior football league. She is a Flyer and is being dropped on a weekly basis. And when she's dropped, it is brutal, straight to her back on the floor because all three of her...

Hello guys! So my friend wants me to try out for UCF cheer, mind you I’m a base/backspot so I’ve never flown before. I honestly kinda think it’d be nice to try it, but idk how to get started… any tips/suggestions?? They do toss extensions, toss to lib, and all that stuff and I’ve never done...

My daughter is based in UK and is a flyer. She is very flexible and has amazing core strength. She is however 5ft 2 and weighs between 110lbs and 115lbs. Is her absolute love of flying realistic? We are working out how hard to chase this and how much she should just find a team who are less...

Hi Cheer world! I need help with this - as I am wondering if my assumption is correct about tumblers as you get to higher levels. My daughter is in her 7th season of allstar cheer. She was at one cheer gym for 5 years and left 2 years ago because she wanted the opportunity to fly. We moved to...

Hi. So if you want the explanation to the title I used to have level 3 tumbling last season. I took a break that season for personal reasons but kept tumbling and taking privates. I went from level 3 tumbling to level 6. At tryouts for my gym, of course I made their level 6 team. I cheer for a...

My 12 year old is a fab little flyer and is exceptional with stunting and ridiculous flexibility but struggles with her tumbles. She has been fighting so hard but just can't get her back handspring. Any tips on how to help her? It's really holding her back

I'm 15 years old, 5'4 and 1/2, and my weight fluctuates from around 123-127 pounds but its really just muscle weight. I have really good balance and I hold myself well but am I too big to continue being a flyer?

I am double posting, but I need advice. I have a flyer with hyperextended legs (they go backwards a little at the knee). I have them too, which is how I identified them in her (she didn’t realize). This means that when I tell her to lock her knee out in stunts, she’s actually hyperextending...

i had my first COED stunt clinic yesterday (my second is tomorrow). my college team is CO-ED but they haven't put CO-ED stunts in the routine in years, i'm unsure why. i really love CO-ED stunting, it's been a blast. i was able to get an assisted toss to hands by the end of the one hour clinic...

wanted to get some advice to tell my daughter, who is new to Coaching (2nd year). She coaches a Rec team. 12-14 year olds. What are your thoughts on a "consequence" or "punishment" for dropping a Flyer? I have my own opinion about it but wanted to feel you guys out. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I tried to search for posts on this but didn't have much luck! I recently joined an adult rec team for fun and am flying. However, I've never flown before and I'm definitely on the heavier side (130 pounds). I know weight doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but...

hi I’m 12 and I’m 5’3 and 85 pounds. I would love to be a flyer but am I to tall. There are many girls on my team that are 4’3 or lower but I really think I could be a good flyer

Do most teams require a certain weight for flyers?

What are the best shoes for flyers?

Hi all, I'd be grateful for any advice on using ankle weights to help flyers improve their stretches. It seems a good idea in theory, and there are certainly lots of instructional videos that advocate doing it, but I've also read some people are opposed for the potential strain it puts on...

Hello, I have been cheering for 5 years now and now I am trying to make a college team in my state and I have been flying all-girl most of the time. I started training co-ed a few months ago and I've progressed pretty quickly however, I am having a hard time pulling libs!! I either pull too...

Hi all, I was looking at the nfinity website and I see they now have high top cheer shoes? Would these be suitable for level 3 flying? I have weak overly bendy ankles which have a tendency to roll in stunts. I also had some mild pain in my Achilles two seasons a go, although this thankfully...

i base for allstar but I'm actually pretty small compared to everyone on my high school team. i've always had problems with extensions, i immediately start to toe or fall out of the stunt. i also feel like i don't completely trust my stunt group and i don't know why. all the girls on the team...

Click For Full Article There is a physically and emotionally draining time in everyone’s life when everything begins to change. Mere mention of these changes is awkward and uncomfortable. Some experience these changes earlier than others, and in rare cases, some need assistance from doctors to...

I'm on a small j3 this year. I initially thought I might get to fly (and I still might), but the chances of me basing in most of the routine are pretty likely because there are a lot of little girls on my team (who are great flyers). I will probably be a base, and I'm kind of weak. I will need...
