    depends on how big or small the other girls on the team are but you will probally be a base if you are around the average height of the team or if your one of the taller girls you will be a back spot

  • no 5'8 is way too tall to be a flyer. you wil be a post and hold girls up if you are that tall andabout a size... 8 I'm guessing?

    Flyers are ALWAYS the smallest, smallest, smallest girls on the team. 5'1, 100 lbs, etc.

    You will still have fun though!

    What do you mean "for what" the average size of a 5'8" 160 lbs woman is about a size 8-10..... too big to be a flyer. I know this because I am 5'6" and 150 and about the same size.

    whatever, you are still not going to be a flyer but you are clearly stupid enough to be a cheerleader.

    hmm, well anything is possible, we had a girl who was just under 5'8" and she was one of the best fliers, however she was only 120 pounds. but also it doesnt matter exactly how heavy you are because ive back spotted a flier who was 4' 11" at 110 pounds who felt a lot heavier than the flier who was 5' 6" 130 lbs because she pulled up more. im not going to say you cant be a flier because you might kick other fliers butts, but the coach might start you off basing unless you show her up front you are a great flier.

    Good Luck and kick some ***!! :)

    If you can pike well then you would make an amazing flyer. Show your coach how well you are. She will make you cradle. when you cradle DO NOT BEND YOUR LEGS it will make you feel 2X more heavier.

    Hope this Helps
