In the part of the movie when try-outs are going on to replace Carver, Missy comes in and tells them she is a hard core gymnast, and cheerleading is the closest thing to gymnastics because they don't have it at their school. Well Whitney doesn't really think she can do it, so she gives her instructions do prove it she starts with "front handspring, etc." well as you see Missy starts her series with a round-off, which you could not possibly get into a front handspring! The producers obviously weren't gymnasts themselves!
