There are certain things you should know if you are going to be a flyer for your cheerleading squad. Being a great flyer does require some work but it does not require anything crazy, just dedication and some knowledge.
The first thing you can do to become a great flyer is to make sure your body is tight and as fit as possible. This will make it easier to be tossed and have structure to the stunts. This does not mean you have to be super skinny, just tight. Fit.
The second thing you need to do is not look down when being held up, this will only scare you and create instability in the stunt. What you do is focus on an object that and you will have a much easier time keeping your balance. So try to avoid being afraid when you are being held up.
The third thing you need to do is to make sure you hold your weight when being held up. Squeeze your muscles together and push yourself up a bit. Why? This makes it easier for the base people to hold you up and for you to remain balanced. Along with this, let you base help you remain balanced; this is part of their job, let them do it.
Avoid having feuds with the cheerleaders who hold you up.
Remember to try and evenly distribute your weight when you are falling and being cradled, do not fall to one side, fall to both.
