Are you too big to be a flyer in cheerleader if you weigh 120llbs and are 5 foot 6?

Answer 1

I feel ya sister! Im about 5 foot 5 and i weight pretty much 120. im a cheerleader and my dream has always been to fly my coach actually let me for a while but the thing you really have to look at is where do you stand in comparison with the rest of your squad? are you the tallest? (usually height is a bigger deal than weight i promise.) if your not then your weight really shouldnt matter. ( i see this is under diet and weightloss. you dont need to loose any weight to fly you are fine the way you are! ) and if u are the tallest (like me sadley) or the strongest..(like me even more sadley..) chances are you wont get to fly ( like me saddest lol) i know its not cool. If you can do some stunts like scorpion or heel stretches like me that gives you a better chance. SO BASICALLY all you need to look at is are you too tall? and are you good enough? if your like me^^ then you will see your chances arnt that great but if you actually arnt tallest or whatever you prolly wont end up as a backspot like me.. :P

It really does depend on the rest of those on the team. You're flexibility also matters a lot. You can be the teeniest kid there but if you don't have all your body positions you probably won't fly

Answer 2

You don't HAVE to be small. It certainly helps to be shorter but there are very talented gymnast who are bigger.

Answer 3

No, you have to have good balance .
