Question
Hi

Ok.. I really want 2 be a flyer when i join Cheerleading again... What is the average height & weight 4 a 12 year old begginer?  

Answer
Well, from most of my experience, I have seem 12 year old flyers to be around 4'10 and all weigh less than 100 lbs. But then again, they are all middle school cheerleaders and all the other girls are able to pick them up with no effort. To be an elite cheerleader, you're usually 5'0 and around around 100 lbs. It all depends on your muscle mass as well. If you weigh a lot, but it's all muscle then that's good. It's just you have to stay really tight.
