Okay, so according to AACCA, "participants may not land in a partner stunt or in a catching position from an aerial tumbling skill" The guidelines only give a few examples of what an 'aerial' tumbling skill is, so I'm unsure about a certain stunt, I would like to try with my squad. Basically, the flyer starts facing the bases, the backspot faces the flyer. The flyer performs a front walkover and the base group assists to lift the flyer into a load in position. I've seen some posts kind of similar where the person thought (the similiar stunt) was legal, but I just want to be positive.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance..

NFHS rule 2-8-2b says it's legal if: When beginning a stunt from a weight-bearing, inverted position on the performing surface, which goes directly to a non-inverted position shoulder height or below. You must have a base or spotter who protects the head/neck/shoulder area of the flyer. This base must maintain contact with the flyer until she is no longer inverted.

And what I've been told is an aerial tumbling skill is defined as "using no hands", i.e. back tuck, aerial, full, etc. so as long as the hands touch the floor it's okay. For example: bhs into cradle re-load, handstand walkover into prep, etc.
