Okay so I'm going into middle school and this year I'm doing pop warner cheer. I REALLY want to be a flyer but I know I won't be. I've been to a cheer clinic and I was a base and I take tumbling/cheer and sometimes we do stunting-I'm always a base. But flying sound sooo fun!!! I really wanna do it. People say you have to be short and skinny but that's sooo not true...my cousin is super tall and she's average for her height and she's a flyer. But then my step sister Lexi is really short and average weight and she's a flyer too!
HELP!
I really wanna be a flyer so any info on how to be one really helps!
Thnxx soo much!

Oh just to tell everyone...I'm not big I'm 5'0" and I'm 90 pounds! Normal I think?

It all depends on what the coach needs you to do. If she needs a base, you'll be a base.
Since you have two flyers in your family ask them to show you how to step-lock, shrug, and pinch-a-penny. It will be easier to understand from watching them than by reading it here.

if you don't have a good "flyer" body, try losing a few pounds, but don't go crazy with diets.
you can also try to get super flexible so that you can do really good flares like: scorpians, heel stretches, and bow n arrows
^ if you can do that stuff, they won't care if you're a little bigger, also try the best you can to hold your own weight up when flying

girl, all of that stuff u hear about flyers having to be short and skinny, IT AIN'T TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im super tall and skinny and im a flyer!! u should tell your coach that u wanna be a flyer. (or atleast let u try) but trust me its not all that fun, u have to sqeeze everything in order for u to be light enought so that your bases can carry u.

if your coach needs you somewhere else thats how its gonna b i used to be a flyer but i hated it because i got dropped all the time and the bases said i was doing it when it was really their fault!! if you dont have the body for it its not gonna happen so just stop trying
sorry i know you want too but its just not gonna happen if you annoy your coach so much
good luck!!!
