Question
hey Kiki,
i am 13 years old and i want to tryout for my 8th grade
cheer team. i really want to be a flyer but i am the tallest girl in my
class. what do you think my chances are of being a flyer?


Answer
Well, for middle school, coaches always focus on the smaller girls, but if you are a good weight (around 90-115 lbs), have muscles and can stay tight, then you have good chances. If you really want to fly, then just ask the coach.

Hope this helped.

Love always, Kiki Quach
