I don't know. For some reason, this bothers me. I prefer an all-around cheerleader. They can base or fly, and tumble...including jump to backs. The absolute best can actually base AND fly if needed.
What makes a GREAT cheerleader? How does someone who doesn't "have" to do the basics (because they can't, won't, or just aren't made to) at the level they compete in, affect the team members on it? Once the tumbling goes, than the jump to backs....do you keep them for their one skill? Do you still force them to try to tumble? Would this not allow other team members to think they don't have to work that hard because the other has issues but yet they're pushed to get their tumbling better?
