Stunting
Flyers, bases, back spot, front spot. Which is more important? These are all positions in stunt groups and they are all important and critical to the group. A flyer (the person up top) is nothing without a good strong team below lifting her up into the air and catching. It is the coach's decision as to who will be appointed to each position. We do not have favourite’s, we chose a group combination that is best suited to each child's skills.
