Right Arabesque Left Arabesque Right Heel Stretch Left Heel Stretch Right Scale Left Scale Right Scorpion Left Scorpion Needle Bow & Arrow Terms of Season 13(Required) I understand a flying position is assigned at the beginning of the year and can be exchanged for another position on the team for a number of reasons, such as: Choreography demands, loss of body control or flexibility, loss of athletes (only the minimum required number of stunt groups will assemble). I also understand that a "flying" position means I may fly in pyramid only or specialty stunts that are not part of the elite stunt sequence. I agree to accept this position without knowing the specific terms and work hard for my team at all times.Questions for ParentsRead the statement below and check "yes" or "no" if you believe your child can handle the position of a flyer.(Required)A flyer is often put under more pressure than other positions. The flyer is expected to work outside of practice on flexibility and body control as well as regularly attend flyers practice. Flyers often receive more corrections during practice than the remainder of the stunt group. Flyers should be resilient in nature and accepting of corrections at all times. On junior and senior teams, the coaches will often ask bases and backspots to explain to a flyer what they're feeling and vice versa. Flyers should be able to accept peer feedback and provide constructive feedback to their bases as well. Yes No I have questions about this. Please contact me. Accountability(Required) Even the most committed flyers need accountability. I agree to help my child in this position and hold her accountable for completing homework related to this position. I also agree to bring my child for regular flyer classes as well as maintain regular attendance at practice and in tumbling class. If additional homework is given to ensure progression, I will ensure my child is working on the homework on a regular basis.Terms of Season 13(Required) I understand a flying position is assigned at the beginning of the year and can be exchanged for another position on the team for a number of reasons, such as: Choreography demands, loss of body control or flexibility, loss of athletes (only the minimum required number of stunt groups will assemble).
