It's not just about your size, it's about your flexabilty. Obviously you can't be a thicker girl, but you shouldn't diet! I'm a cheerleader and I absolutely LOVE basing! It's a lot of fun, try all the stunt positions BEFORE you try and do something silly JUST to be a flyer!

There isn't a specific weight. It's the girl who would be best at it that can be lifted up without straining the bases. I was a flyer and weigh around 90 lbs, but my friend is also an amazing flyer and weighs about 115. It just depends on if you can hold your weight in the air and pull body positions.

weight really doesnt matter.
the back base takes off a lot of the weight of the flyer for the bases on the side to lift you up.
I've had to lift someone who was 130, and they felt like they weighed 70 ish.

1st of all just to let you know it dosnt matter how skinny you are it matters hoe muscular and flexible you are also if you could pull your self up in the air, well thts what we do on my squad, and usually it just depends how your coach is.

you do not have to be a certain weight to fly.. last year my flyer was hevier then I was. it just depends on which position you coach wants to to do.. if you are flexiable and have good core strenght your coach will probably make you a flyer.. hope this helps.

well if your right in the middle dont worry about it!
most of the time it depends on the size of the other girls on your squad!
so if most of them are bigger than you your probably going to end up being a flyer, but if most of them are smaller than you, you'll probably be a base or backspot.

weight does not matter (:
some girls may be the skinniest on the squad, but they make themselves the heaviest, because they don't know how to hold they're weight.
no matter how strong a base is, it's the flyers job to take the weight off, because if shes not the lightest, she knows she wont go anywhere unless she pulls her own weight. So just hold your weight, and practically anyone can lift you.
Also, flexibility may help on your side if your flying, so stretch at home at your gym, it will make all the difference, and make you a lot more confident aswell happy
