Question
how much do you have to weigh to be a flyer,
say your really curvy do they say you have to weigh a certain amount to be a flyer????

Answer
There really is no easy way to answer this question, it honestly depends on the level and school that you are at. For high school I have seen places where only the tiniest of ladies are fliers, and at some universities as well. On the other hand on my universities JV squad there were two fliers who were curvy and weighed around 140lbs each. I'd say no matter what weight you are you help your chances by talent, but the heavier you are, the better you have to be. Let me know if you have any other questions.
