About Katlin Expertise I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
Experience I have cheered for 7 years for an all star team. We traveled out of state. I was a flyer but I know how to base and backspot.

Question hi! i have just made the high school squad well i was a base in jr high but now that i am in high school i think that i am going to have to fly!! i am a little nervous because i am not the smallest person in the world!! see we have three stunt groups and other are two small girls one weighing at 70lbs and the other at 110lbs well i weigh 117!! and i am the next smallest one!! so i guess i might fly i mean i am excited to but do you think i might need to lose so weight?? i am 5'6!! but also do you have any stretches for me and tips for flying!! i really would appreciate it!! well it is very nerve racking being a fish so any advice is great!! well thanks!! bye!!
Answer Hey Maygan,
YOU DO NOT NEEd TO LOOSE WEIGHT!!!! .. Size doesn't matter realy just flexibility does in most cases.. DO your splits, and stretch every day .. that is all you can really do .. make sure when you are in the air stay up not matter what .. even if they are holding your foot the wrong way or something doesnt feel right .. What I often did was find a spot infront of me on the wall when I was in the air .. and the will help you keep your balance up in the air make sure you also stretch your back .. have you back spot help you stretch ..
GOOD LUCK!! IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS LET EM KNOW ... LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!!
SIncerly ,
Katlin <3
