I was a cheerleader and you are exactly right. I've coached and I had girls of every shape and size because we needed the "tiny" girls for flyers but the more muscular and stronger girls as bases, which you need more bases than flyers in the first place (2 bases and a back-spot, possibly front-spot for each 1 flyer).

They are dancers not cheerleaders, but who knows, they might have started out as cheerleaders and evolved into dancers.
