So I’ve never flown before but my coach wanted me to fly. I was to scared that I was gonna be to heavy but what they told me is that it doesnt matter how much you weigh. It really matters if your able to hold you weight up well and how much you squeeze. Pulling your weight up helps the bases so much and if you squeeze flying will be so much easier. Now 2 years later, im on a level 5 worlds team. Practice makes perfect. dont be scared to try new things

[@user13976]

un known what team?

[@presleywilson3912]

un known what team

[@Zara-kc6yd]

What u said just made me relax😂😂im putting so much pressure on myself to become a good flyer and ive only had 2 practices of flying. I just feel like im not good enough bcuz all the flyers cradled right at least once and i keep messing up😔

[@ViiiiJCat]

[@taylorswiftfan-gf4ir]

Just look forward, smile, and stay really really tight and it helps soooo much!

[@angielizethh]

that’s okay, i’m a flyer too :) jus focus on staying tight & smile. you’ll get over the fear as you move onto different stunts.

[@mollywensworth957]

Ok so I'm a little heavier then some of the girls on my team but my coach says it dosent matter the size or weight it matters the desire to be a flyer so she wants me to fly next week

[@khykhy9344]

Molly Wensworth cool!! Where do you cheer I'm looking for a new gym and I want to be a flyer but like you said im afraid of my weight

[@tiyahx05]

tuff

[@lexi_ilovepenguins7682]

How’s flying going

[@user13976]

Well your size and weight do matter

[@Xiomaraye]

Emilia Morisseau yeah it kind of does . It’s more ideal because the bases can have an easier time picking your weight up . If you’re to heavy , you’re heavy that’s it

[@allieclaire3342]

Anybody have tips on standing up fast and staying tight and solid in a lib?

[@allieclaire3342]

[@marciesawyer1871]

What is the purpose of Flyers

[@Mickey-09]

I’m a flyer and I’m struggling going straight up to a full!!! I can pause at prep then go up but I can’t get it straight up and my coach is yelling at me for it so I’m like channeling my anger into training!!!!!!

[@miaaless9387]

[@marciesawyer1871]

[@Kilmoney854]

[@arabellam7324]

I really want to fly.... But I’m to heavy🥺I’m a base but my dream is to become a flyer.....

[@chandraredd4229]

I wish I was a base😫 my bases always say they wish they were flyers.

[@isabellajones5196]

Chandra Redd YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A BASE IM A FRONT SPOT AND A FLYER BUT MY COACHES HAVE HARD TIMES BEING A BASES. Lol sorry if I affend you lol

[@haleycarstens8713]

Nor basing is so much fun! I main base and fly, even tho you might get hit a lot, it's a good feeling to know your the ones holding the flyers in the air!

[@Lily-mm8ew]

if I weren't in a group of 7-12 year olds id top or so my coaches said but I back. (I say group since im in competitive not like school cheer)

[@gunnarxx]

Who said she’s the “perfect” flyer

[@rebeccadugas7375]

fr like even in the beginning her liberty is horrible

[@MattieEliza]

Ok I have one question I’m gonna be a middle school cheerleader next season and I’m about to be in 6th grade and I weigh 100 pounds is it possible for me to fly??

[@elleryheath9782]

Mattie Lucas if you can hit your stunts and aren’t scared in the air then yes. i am 96 pounds and a flyer , if the bases are good they should lift you effortless

[@user13976]

tHe sLeEp PeRilOus I don’t think so because I’m 76 pounds and I’m in 6th grade and I still don’t fly

[@elleryheath9782]

Emilia Morisseau it just depends. not all short people get to fly the coaches go for who’s best in each group

[@sophia9059]

Emilia Morisseau i’m in 8th and i’m 76 pounds and i fly
