What is the average height of a college cheerleader flyer on a Coed team ? I know there are awesome cheer flyers of all heights, but was curious what the average height is.

Im 5'4" too!! Ive been told that as long as tou can hold your weight and look good in the air, you still have a chance us tall girls look better anyway in my opinion. More legs to look at!!!

I'm 5'5" and I cheered in college. I wasn't the tallest girl either. As long as we kept our weight under 115 they didn't care abt our height.

that's absurd to have a weight limit.

Shorter girls are easier to toss- Think about it for a sec, when the guy is at the top of his toss and your feet are already above his shoulders its going to be easier to get you to up versus your feet still being at his waist.

That being said, I'm 5'7" and have stunted with girls taller than I am, so its definitely possible for taller girls to fly as well.

UCF has a roster on their website which shows all of their heights (not sure if it's this years roster though) http://ucfathletics.cstv.com/sports/c-spirit/spec-rel/ucf-cheer-roster.html

Shorter girls are easier to toss, longer girls are easier to flip.

Just the same taller girls have an advantage tossing and shorter guys do rewinds easier.

Thanks, Emily Jane. I am going to look at that site. That is exactly what I was looking for. There are threads on this board that debate and dicsuss the advantages of short v. tall flyers. I was just curious ,when it comes down to it, what the heights of the College flyers are.

You have to remember that UCF is very competitive within D1A at UCA. The height ranges might be different with non competitive schools, NCA schools, etc.

Seeing that roster gave me the idea to look up some other schools. The University of Hawaii was from 4'8 to 5'1. I couldn't find a roster that listed Ht. for SFA.
