Safety? New cheerleader ....?

Question

Eleven year old just joined and in 2 weeks they have her doing the stand (or 13-14 year olds) up on squads in air then fall -jump to a stand. Shes very high up standing , arms in a v, for several minutes. IS THIS OKAY FOR A GIRL WHO HAS NEVER CHEERED?

Answer 1

The sooner they can get her up without fear, the better.

If she's the smallest, lightest one in the squad; thats where they'll want her.

You should be able to tell by her base people and spotters whether it's safe.

But to answer your question: yes it's ok.

Answer 2

if worried about her safety start questioning the coaches but seems pretty normal might want to get her into tumbling classes if in your area.
