    All-Star Flyer size

    My daughter is based in UK and is a flyer. She is very flexible and has amazing core strength. She is however 5ft 2 and weighs between 110lbs and 115lbs. Is her absolute love of flying realistic? We are working out how hard to chase this and how much she should just find a team who are less...

    All-Star Daughter just got taken out of flyer spot

    Hi Cheer world! I need help with this - as I am wondering if my assumption is correct about tumblers as you get to higher levels. My daughter is in her 7th season of allstar cheer. She was at one cheer gym for 5 years and left 2 years ago because she wanted the opportunity to fly. We moved to...

    All-Star How to go from never being a flyer to a lvl6 flyer?

    Hi. So if you want the explanation to the title I used to have level 3 tumbling last season. I took a break that season for personal reasons but kept tumbling and taking privates. I went from level 3 tumbling to level 6. At tryouts for my gym, of course I made their level 6 team. I cheer for a...

    All-Star Flyer Flexi but not good at tumbles

    My 12 year old is a fab little flyer and is exceptional with stunting and ridiculous flexibility but struggles with her tumbles. She has been fighting so hard but just can't get her back handspring. Any tips on how to help her? It's really holding her back

    High School Flyer size

    I'm 15 years old, 5'4 and 1/2, and my weight fluctuates from around 123-127 pounds but its really just muscle weight. I have really good balance and I hold myself well but am I too big to continue being a flyer?

    Flyer with hyperextended legs

    I am double posting, but I need advice. I have a flyer with hyperextended legs (they go backwards a little at the knee). I have them too, which is how I identified them in her (she didn’t realize). This means that when I tell her to lock her knee out in stunts, she’s actually hyperextending...

    Dropping A Flyer

    wanted to get some advice to tell my daughter, who is new to Coaching (2nd year). She coaches a Rec team. 12-14 year olds. What are your thoughts on a "consequence" or "punishment" for dropping a Flyer? I have my own opinion about it but wanted to feel you guys out. Thanks in advance!

    All-Star Flyer And Stretching Tips For Older Athlete

    Hey everyone, I tried to search for posts on this but didn't have much luck! I recently joined an adult rec team for fun and am flying. However, I've never flown before and I'm definitely on the heavier side (130 pounds). I know weight doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but...

    All-Star Ankle Weights For Improving Flyer Stretching?

    Hi all, I'd be grateful for any advice on using ankle weights to help flyers improve their stretches. It seems a good idea in theory, and there are certainly lots of instructional videos that advocate doing it, but I've also read some people are opposed for the potential strain it puts on...

    Cheer Shoes For A Flyer With Weak Ankles?

    Hi all, I was looking at the nfinity website and I see they now have high top cheer shoes? Would these be suitable for level 3 flying? I have weak overly bendy ankles which have a tendency to roll in stunts. I also had some mild pain in my Achilles two seasons a go, although this thankfully...

    Flyer To Base Help

    I'm on a small j3 this year. I initially thought I might get to fly (and I still might), but the chances of me basing in most of the routine are pretty likely because there are a lot of little girls on my team (who are great flyers). I will probably be a base, and I'm kind of weak. I will need...

    All-Star Flyer Tryouts

    Noticing many gyms have separate "flyer tryouts" now and I think that's a great idea. Can someone explain the process, i.e., does this help with strengthen stunt groups and assist with team placement? I see a lot of the Cheer Athletics gyms are having them.
