What's the answer to the tiny 12 year old flyer problem (which I agree it is one - both from a base and a flyer perspective - if all flyers stop flying once they hit 100 pounds at 13, and all bases can only base tiny prepubescent 12 year olds - that's all you have trying out in college - kids who can't base grown women and girls who haven't flown in 5 years). Do you up the age requirement for a senior team to an age after most girls are fully grown, or perhaps some minimum flyer weight requirement? Or just let things go as they are and hope people relearn for college?
NO to the bold. I'm going to assume you were being sarcastic.
I'm not opposed to increasing the senior age. I still think 12 to 18 is a huge a age gap. I'd prefer 15-18.
But, if things do stay as they are, athletes better get used to re-learning stunting techniques to accommodate grown humans. If an athlete (especially a male) knows that they want to do college cheer, they need to train their bodies to be able to stunt at the college level with other college aged athletes.
