i totally agree with the 2 other answers totally.me being me though i think i would throw a stunt up (more if your confident your teamates wont drop your flyer)and say things like " what would happen if [things that would cause your flyer to fall]"and go on to say how the bases spotters and flyers are all one team, without all of the stunt components you dont really have a team (well ecluding spotters but then agen you wont need spotters really when your team becomes a family =) )throw up all kinds of different stunts - with differentr bases and flyers each time. try pairing people up and do some drills like sit ups and see who can do the most etc etc (be creative! =D)Get your coach to give a few hints when your practicing routines.Dont be too mean to them - or they might never listen to you! pay them compliments and such and such.Good Luck and let me know how your pep talks n stuffs go =)xXx

Coming from another team captain in the same position.
If they don't listen, take however many practices it takes for team building and trust exercises. Think about it. If you have a competition coming up, and you're not practicing for the competition because the team isn't together, that will get reality through to them pretty quickly, and tehy'll start working on it, possibly pretending at first just so they can practice. But after a while, the pretending will stop and just become habit. It worked for us, and we were both State and National champions. Good luck!

Have you had any team meetings? Get your team together and do some team building and trust activities! Not only will it help build trust, it will be fun and help then all bond. Remind them that in cheerleading, you put your safety and well being into your team's hands and that trust is not only recommended, but NEEDED to be a team :) Goodluck!
