Could I be a flyer?

I might be looking into cheerleading both all star and high school .I know they are WAY different from each other.Im more excited about all star I can tumble and will work on it over summer more often.I come from dance and gymnastics (gymnastics when I was little)I have perfectly straight needle/scorpion and a perfect scale I grab to my ankle and it hits and my bow and arrow is ok and so is my heel stretch.In dance we learn to be tight and control our bodies (espicially in lifts) also I've been doing a lot of conditioning (I have a 4 pack) so I have strength but I'm stronger on my legs than my arms.Im 5'4 and weigh 120 pounds .Could I be a flyer???For now I'm taking some classes to learn more about cheer.Thanks!~D.

    You could be, but don't be upset if you aren't. I am a allstar cheerleader, so i am only talking about allstar. On your first year there will most likely be many flexible girls. Flying isn't just about flexibility. It is also about being able to hold yourself up. If you able to try to get a stunting class at your local cheer gym. Also, many girls already know the coaches, so the coaches might automatically choose them. My friend has a bow and arrow and can lean with it but she is not a flyer. Good luck!
