Question
hi my name is caylin and i this will be my fist time doing  all star cheerleading and i really really REALLY have a pashion to cheer its all i talk about!! i want to be a flyer but the only problem is i weigh about 92-94lbs do you think i will be a fyler

Answer
That depends on the size of the rest of the girls. In general you are definitely small enough to be a flyer. But for instance if the rest of the girls were all 85lbs then of course you wouldn't be. The important thing to remember is that being on the squad is whats important. If you have to wait your turn to do the exact stunt(s) you want to do everyone goes through that at some point. But in general, yes, 90-95lb is small enough to be a flyer. good luck.
