Answer 4

Being a flyer is hard, but so is every part of being a cheerleader. However, it is definitely worth it. You just need to be willing to do the work so you can fly. You aren't too tall to fly, but just be prepared to be placed in the center for a lot of pyramids and stunt sequences.

Flying can be scary sometimes, but you need to trust your bases. They will catch you if you fall. I was a flyer and I did get nervous on several occasions. I just sucked it up and made sure that I did my part as best as I could. If you ever fall, you just have to make sure that you get right back up and do it again so that flying doesn't scare you. But remember, you need to do a lot of work so that your chances of falling are very little.

Because you said that you are starting tumbling and stunting classes soon, it seems like you really want to cheer and fly and you are very dedicated and determined. I think you'll find that you'll enjoy flying very much!!

I was a cheerleader for 14 years, including at the collegiate level. I was also a cheer instructor for a cheer company and a coach as well. I was a flyer and I've worked with tons of flyers. Good luck and be safe!
