I've found that bases have the most control over a stunt when things go as planned, but the backspot has the most control over the stunt when things to wrong. If my flyer starts to fall, I usually go left hand on the flyer's lower thigh and right hand on upper ankle of her base leg and just pull up as much as I can and hold as much weight as possible, and I can usually keep her in the air until the bases get re-situated.

u basically need to instil in them that if the stunt falls, they will not only lose but make u very disapointed
my team has a rule that no stunt ever hits the floor. they need to fight for it and if the flyer sticks her but out the backspot needs to grab it and hit her back up. even if they come down to a half to save it and power press back up

I'm posting this here because this forum gets the most traffic. I work with a high school squad and one of the things I've noticed is that when a stunt starts to fall they girls just give up and let it come down. The bases give up and let the flyer come down and the flyer gives up and gets all loose. Anyway, I'm looking for tips that I can pass along to my girls about how to fight for a stunt rather than just letting it fall.

I think part of the problem is that the girls get nervous when a stunt bobbles and they would rather come down b/c they are afraid they'll get hurt.

This is really frustrating, though, because we can't build up to more elite stunts if the girls won't even commit to basic stunts.

So please help!! :D

Thank you for posting this, I was going to post something like this the other day and then got distracted. My high school girls have the same problem!!
