Question by Laura Hall: What is the hand position for catchers in a pendulum cheerleading stunt?
I need to know the positioning of the hands for catchers. We have two bases putting up a flyer who will then fall into 6 catchers on the front and 6 catchers on the back. Thanks!! 🙂

Some people do it like a basket toss weave, as seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XfkJi6fK6o
Others just do it like a cradle or fireman’s catch. Upside to the basket one is your arms are interlocked and pretty strong that way. Downside is your catchers’ hands aren’t free should something go wrong and they need to catch the flyer.
