Yeah, I've spotted and been spotted by fellow teammates for college, both bhs' and tucks. But a lot of us nearly had the skill or mental so it's not like we have never done the skill before. A lot of the "spotting" was a hand on a back for comfort until they were comfortable enough to do it on there own. We would go to a local gym to learn brand new skills where we paid for privates or small group lessons.I cheered high school and we always spotted each other on everything. The most teammates ever did were tucks, and my coach/tumbling coach would step in for more advanced things. It seemed normal to me. It never resulted in any injuries, mainly because most of us could tumble and it's not hard to spot a standing tuck. We were always supervised and had crash pad mats.
However, I wouldn't expect/want to be spotted by a teammate at a gym, because I'm paying for professional instruction.
