Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
bases: there are two. they basically do all the foot work.
flyer: well, she's the one on top. she has to be able to hold herself up and the enter a stunt and stick it. it's actually pretty difficult.
back spot (thats what i was): basically you grab the girl by the waste, lift her into the stunt (make sure you don't throw her over) and then you grab her ankles or wherever is comfortable and lift as hard as you can until she's completely in the stunt. and then you don't let go, you hold onto her ankles of the bases wrists. and youre always there if she falls.
some easy stuns would be an elevator, and extension, going into an elevator from the ground, etc.

Okay, so I'm not sure EXACTLY what you want; but here you go from a flyer. :P
BASE-There are two. These girls are usually and generally strong, and fairly tall, but it all depends on the build of your flyer. The bases should be close in height, if not, adjust by spreading the legs of one, to make her shorter. NEVER go on your toes to try to reach a stunt. These girls support the stunt by holding the flyer's legs above their heads.
FLYER/TOP-This is the one who goes in the air. She's generally small and light, but there are always variations, according to your squad girl size. This girl needs to lock her legs and keep her body tight. As easy as this looks, the flyer MUST push off of her bases while in the load in; she needs to have power, and needs to support herself by sucking in her stomach, butt and LOCKING HER LEGS. Flyers generally use a high-v in the air, for balance.
BACKSPOT-Backspots help the flyer into the stunt, and holds the ankles of the girl while in the stunt. The backspot is usually the girl who counts for the stunt, and decides when to pop, ect. This girl needs to be strong, as easy as the position looks. She needs to pull up on the flyer's ankles/calfs, so that the bases have less weight in their hands.
I'd write up all of the information here, on stunting, but here is a great website that should really help you!

Enjoy, and good luck with stunting! Don't try anything unless you think it's safe, and try to watch your tecnique, not just on getting the stunt up there!!
Smile, Sparkle, Shine. ;)
