Am I suitable to be a Flyer?

I have gotten on JV cheer, so I think I might be a flyer. I am 4'10", 110 lbs, and am the most flexible freshman girl, have decent balance, and can do the splits both front and side. I also have training in Kung-fu. Will I become a flyer? What other qualities do I need? If not, should I be a spot or a base?

Am I suitable to be a Flyer?
hey! im on my high school cheer squad and im a flyer too. You must be very flexible, have a great smile, and very powerful leg strength. those are the 3 main key strenghs you need to have. that is good to hear you can do the splits and you are the most flexbile girl on the squad. but can you hold you leg above your head, can you do heel streches, scorpians, bow-n-arrows? because those are essential things flyers need to know how to do. if you are not chosen to be a flyer but a spot or base, be happy! i mean, at least you made your squad.
Reply:i just made JV too and i am a flyer. I am 5'0 and 84 lbs and the other flyer is about the same. your balence can not be decent it has to be great. also you have to be able to carry your own weight. If not you should be a base. No matter what have a lot of stregth.
Reply:With a dead last placing in the NHL this season, the Philadelphia Flyers are looking for veteran members. Unfortunately, the failing power forward system that team employs may disallow someone at 110 lbs from playing full contact hockey.





Good luck.
Reply:I would say yes. My school hauls some pretty hefty girls up in the air, so why not you? I think the heaviest girl we sent sailing this year was like...130 pounds but could do v. good tricks. Our lightest was 100. We're pretty obese, but whatever.
