I am not on a sr level 4 team, and I the coaches haven't made the routines yet, so I have about a month to get perfect stretches if I'm going to be a flyer. I have great leg flexibility, I can do a heal stretch and a bow and arrow, but I can't do a scorpion, my back is just not flexible at all.. it doesn't matter how much I push it.. I just can't do it. I can get my leg up.. but its not good enough for a level 4 team.

This picture is close to what it looks like right now :

Please give me good explanations or pictures of stretches that will help me make my back really flexible so I can do this.

Do bridges for like 3 minutes, maybe twice a day. Get a team-mate to help stretch you at practices. Repeat. Also, if you lay on your side and try to pull it that will help A LOT! That is how I usually stretch myself. Sorry if I did not help, I'm happy if it did!
