Some are particularly light or agile, others are very strong, some are good at gymnastics, others are good at dancing. You can already see what I&#8217;m getting at: every member of a cheer team has a specific role that they take on. Depending on which role this is, a cheerleader stands in a certain position in a coreography.   \n\nIn this article, we take a look at all the positions in cheerleading and what the respective tasks are.\n\n<h4>The most important cheerleading positions<\/h4>\n\n<h5>Flyer<\/h5>\nA \u201cflyer\u201d is the person who is lifted to the top of the pyramid during the coreography, which is why cheerleaders in this position are also called \u201ctop girl\u201d. As the flyer towers above everyone else, the cheerleader in this position has to be a particularly good entertainer. But it&#8217;s not just about putting on a good show: Balance, body tension and flexibility are just as important to be able to perform the various figures quickly while being lifted up by one&#8217;s team members. Flyers are usually the smallest and lightest members of a cheer team.   \n\nThe flyer is one of the most important positions on a cheer team because not only is it the most attention-grabbing, but it also shows that the team is working well together. After all, the base has to work properly together to get the flyer into the air &#8211; and land safely. In a competition, stunts with a flyer therefore score the most points.  \n\n\n<h5>Bases<\/h5>\n\nThe people who help the flyer to get into the air during the stunt, stabilize the flyer and thus keep her in the air and finally catch her again are referred to as the base. For individual stunts, the base often consists of four people; for larger pyramids, the base is correspondingly larger to ensure sufficient support. As cheerleaders in the \u201cbase position\u201d, you have to be particularly strong and have a high sense of responsibility: after all, you carry the flyer on your hands. The members within the base are often the same size in order to ensure an even platform for the flyer.   \n\nThere is always a main base and a side base that face each other during stunts. Depending on the severity of the stunt, there is also a back, front or spotter. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44de703 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"44de703\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/whatthesports.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/whatthesports_flyer-base-tumblr-positionen-im-cheerleading.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1567\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whatthesports.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/whatthesports_flyer-base-tumblr-positionen-im-cheerleading.webp 800w, https:\/\/whatthesports.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/whatthesports_flyer-base-tumblr-positionen-im-cheerleading-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/whatthesports.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/whatthesports_flyer-base-tumblr-positionen-im-cheerleading-768x960.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f07a005 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f07a005\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Main Base<\/strong>: the main base stands on the left side when stunting and has the flyer&#8217;s left foot in its hands. This position is almost directly under the flyer and is responsible for keeping the flyer stable, especially during one-leg stunts. <\/p><p><strong>Side Base: <\/strong>the side base grips the flyer&#8217;s right foot and therefore also stands on the right side. The task of the side base is to lift the flyer into the air and also to support the foot. As the side base, you mainly control the rotation of the foot, which means that if the flyer wobbles, you have to provide strong support to prevent the flyer from falling.  <\/p><p><strong>Back: <\/strong>the back always stands behind the flyer and helps to stabilize the stunt by holding either the ankles of the flyer or the wrists of the bases.<\/p><p><strong>Front:<\/strong> this position does not always exist. If there is a front in a coreography, it is just as responsible as the back for further stabilizing the base. As the name suggests, it stands in front of the flyer.  <\/p><p><strong>Spotter:<\/strong> for particularly complex and difficult stunts, there is often a spotter. This person is responsible for catching the flyer if a stunt goes wrong. This person is not actively involved in the stunt, as the other positions are, but provides additional safety.  <\/p><h5>Tumblers<\/h5><p>Tumblers\u201d are the people in a cheer team who perform gymnastics on the floor and show explosive jumps, somersaults and other acrobatic gymnastic elements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fdf2714 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
