    No Angel, my daughter has never been skinny let alone super skinny, and she made an excellent base. A flyer may need to be lightweight, depending on the strength of her base. But most cheerleaders are base, as you need up to 4 base for a flyer. You need to be willing to work hard and learn the skills that your team would need from you.

    it doesnt matter how big you are if you want to be a cheerleader. what really matters is if you are in shape.

    Absolutely not. You need to be in good shape...which isnt the same thing as skinny...by a long shot. Confidence looks good in all sizes.
