Performing a stunt requires the right amount of practice and training. A well rounded cheerleader can take on any role in a squad. Having versatility is key to a successful cheerleading career. Whether you are a flyer, base, or front spot, having a range of skills allows your squad to be more versatile and effective.

The most important thing to know is that each of these positions has its own role to play in cheerleading. The best way to determine which position is appropriate for you is to consider your own body. Your height, weight, and overall physical capabilities will all play a part in determining which position is best for you.

The most basic stunt in cheerleading is a double thigh stand. This is an important beginner stunt that is used in a number of different cheer stunts.

There are a variety of other cheerleading positions, including the front spot, back spot, and safety person. The front spot is a great way to catch a flyer, while the back spot helps to stabilize the ankles and hold the flyer’s head. The safety person is a safety precaution, and can rush in in the event of a mishap.

The base is the foundation for many stunts. It holds a flyer and lifts them into the air. It is also a good time to mention that bases are usually bigger than their flyer counterparts, so they need to be able to balance them properly.
