Question for cheerleading coaches or cheerleaders..?

Question

Im a cheerleader, 17, and im a base. We took some off of the team and only have tall ones now. Its not okay for my coach to make me carry someone taller than i am, even though shes skinny, right? Im not trying to get short n im not that strong so..

Answer 1

i don't think it has to do w/height as much as it does weight.

my daughter is a flyer for cheer (she's 9) and her squad has another flyer who is taller than her bases but really light.

as long as you can physically lift the flyer-height shouldn't matter but if it's too much for you-make sure to tell your coach to avoid injuries

Answer 2

im 13, 4' 10" and i've lifted a girl when i was 9 that was 5'
