Needle And Flying

Most gyms stand on their right leg and pull body positions on their left leg, so work on your left leg scorpion especially. There's a lot of evidence that stretching one side and not the other can seriously damage your back and cause all sorts of other problems. Talk to your coaches about flying and let them know you are interested. Most of the time it all depends on how many flyers are on your team and what groups work well together. If you really want to fly, work hard and show your coaches how bad you want it, but also don't be upset if you end up basing or backing because all positions are equally as important and versatility is becoming ever-so-important in cheer nowadays! Good luck

It takes a lot more to fly than a needle. Don't be disappointed if your flexibility alone doesn't get you a flying spot.
