It helps when they get flung about and you do pyramids, but they are a muscular lot

I have been a cheerleader for 4 years. There are many smaller cheerleaders because they must go into the air. But who is going to put them up there? The cheerleaders who are a bit more muscular and have a bit more meat on their bones. Yes they are heavier, but there is a spot on a cheerleading squad for everyone. That is if you have enough energy to endure the hard workouts!

Lord no cheerleaders don't have to be skinny, i am on a squad and it stands that it is not your weight but rather what you do with what you have, if you can manipulate your weight then a big girl can be a top girl, Usually it depends on what you are comfortable doing.

HA HAAAAAAAAA...UHM...LETS JUST SAY THIS...I DONT KNOW IF I WANNA SEE BERTHA SQUEEZE INTO A MICRO MINI SKIRT...TRYIN TO KICK HER CELLULITE IN THE AIR, WHILE SCREAMING AND CLAPPING.'
ASK YOURSELF THIS...WOULD YOU WANT TO BE AT THE BOTTOM OF A HUMAN CHEERLEADER PYRAMID...AS BERTHA COMES HUFFIN AND PUFFIN TRYIN TO CLIMB HER WAY TO THE TOP ?
THE THOUGHT ALONE HAS TARNISHED THE IMAGE OF CHEERLEADERS FOR ME FOR EVER.
NOW WHEN I THINK OF THE RAIDERETTES OR COWGIRLS...I SEE A BUNCH OF MIMI'S FROM DREW CARREY, LOOKING AT ME LIKE I'M A ROTISSERRE CHICKEN.
THANX

Actually they are serious athletes, they are pretty muscular.
Their are "flyers" who get tossed in the air who are usually small all over, like short too.
And there are "bases" who provide the support for those amazing towers.
Both are needed!

stands to reason that if someone is going to be picking you up and flipping you around you can't be a hippo.
