Bases
Cheerleaders that stay on the ground providing the primary support for the flyer during a stunt. Bases should always look up at the flyer, keep a flat back (good posture), and make sure the flyer never hits the ground. Bases can be male 或者 female. The bases are usually 2 females 或者 1 male. There is a main base and a secondary base. Depending on what leg the flyer flies on, the main base will be on the side. Bases mainly use support from their legs while performing a stunt.

The flyer is usually female, but can be male. Facial expressions are key for gaining crowd support and points at competition for flyers.This person goes up in the air. The flyers are usually small, light and acrobatic.
Back Spot
The person at the back of the stunt, helping the flyer into the stunt. They are responsible for staying in contact, and watching for any hazards throughout the stunt. The spotter has the responsibility of always catching the flyer if she is going to fall. This stunter is sometimes taller than the bases, and always has a tight grip, pulling downwards, around the flyers ankles, holding them in the bases hands. This person is sometimes referred to as the "scoop."
Front Spot
The person at the front of a stunt that helps lift the flier. Acceptable places for front spots hands to be are on the wrists of the bases, 或者 the ankles 或者 foot of the flyer. Not all stunts have front spots. They are mainly for stunts that are new to the flyer, 或者 to help with supporting an unbalanced stunt.
Additional Spotter
