flyer

Noticing many gyms have separate "flyer tryouts" now and I think that's a great idea. Can someone explain the process, i.e., does this help with strengthen stunt groups and assist with team placement? I see a lot of the Cheer Athletics gyms are having them.

I'm 5'3 and about 115-120 pounds. I'm currently a base on my cheer team and i tried flying to a prep a couple times before. is it possible for me to be a flyer in partner stunts? i never tried it before but i want to cheer at ucla and they only have a coed team so i was hoping if it was...

Hi i'm new and don't really know how to use this... my friend wants me to try out for high school cheer with her.. she has been doing allstar cheer for a long time and i have never cheered in my life... i have the skills to be a flyer but i am 120 pounds and 5 feet maybe 5'1 but is that to big...

My back has really started to hurt this cheer season after pulling needles everyday in my stunts and arching my back very often. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or what they do to keep their back from hurting a lot or ways to stretch out better before or after so it doesn't hurt as much...

Hi I am a freshman in high school and cheered on my high school team last winter and continued this winter (I skipped fall). I just started flying last year but was able to pick up on it. However, my left leg which is the one we pull heel stretches on has never been flexible. Last year, due to...

In my stunt group the flyer doesn't hold her weight well. We have been giving her tips for it, as well as standing up straight and locking her knees out. We have been trying for a year now and she still doesn't do it! I thought she might not like flying, but she doesn't like basing either. When...

Currently I am a Junior and I'm on both my JV and Varsity teams at my school. Our best flyers just recently graduated, and I want to be able to take their place. I'm a fairly strong flyer, but I'm not as flexible as most other girls are and I really want to be able to start pulling body...

Hi, I just joined a cheer team I'm on level 1 ( this is my first time ever doing cheer! ) and I was chosen to be a flyer ( not permanently, just for that practice ) and we had to keep switching base groups ( it was just practice for all bases I think! ) My first base group was so good but then...

I recently switched to a different gym and we have two teams. Ones a senior 4 and the other is a junior 3. And the problem is that my coach is taking all the smaller flyers from the j3 team and making them fly on our team when we already have older flyers including myself who are now basing...

Hi, I am a newbie :) I have a question about being a flyer. When I cheered many many years ago ... it was rare for a flyer to have good tumbling skills... meaning, I did gymnastics before I joined cheer..because back in my day (in the 90s), competitive cheer was more-or-less sideline cheer. It...

I just want honest opinions but please do not attack or think that I'm a crazy cheer mom (I can be crazy but I'm trying to be logical here). Is it totally wrong that I don't want my CP to be a base?? She's always been a flyer... When I coached her for 4 years, I tried the base thing with her...

Anyone love to help me with a few little flyers for social media? Would appreciate it

I'm about 5'5" -5'6", and I'm currently a high school sophomore. I've always flown and I've always been the best flyer, but I'm by far the tallest flyer on our team. The second tallest girl is about 5'2", and the third only 5'0". I haven't flown this year though, due to a few torn ligaments in...

I WAS bitter about being switched to base. Now I'm fine. Edited the entire post because I didn't like how I portrayed myself.

I am currently getting ready to join a team and I want to be a flyer. I know it's going to take some time but it would be helpful if anyone had any tips for me such as( stretching,positions, bases, and things that would help) I know being a flyer you don't have to be all perfect body but I...

There are these stunts videos of Coach Daniel Casas 111 stunting his daughter that are amazing. I would post, but can't figure out how to post it. In it the flyer kicks from scorpion to front heel stretch and then back to a scorpion. How can someone work on mastering this skill.

In dealing with the younger athletes and or routines do you typically find the the younger/ cuter ( I know that sounds terrible) children in the front of the routine? Or do you think that it is truly the most talented or really rotated with all athletes to allow all children ample time in the...

So I am wanting to do college cheer....As many cheerleaders probably do....& I'm currently a base on my allstar but I started to fly for my high school team. Does anyone have any tips for preparing to change positions? Or any advice on whether or not I would fly or base in college based off my...

Just an observation and would like to get some thoughts. Last year our level 5 team flyers on one of our teams were frankly out of control. They banded together and color coordinated their outfits, bows and hair for nearly ever practice. They had an instagram account dedicated to only flyers...
