Cheerleading is no longer just the stuff of American High Schools. Grangehurst Primary in Coventry has taken to its blend of high energy dance and stunts in a big way. Over 90 children, including boys, are regularly put through their paces by former GB international Kim Nurden, a top cheerleading coach who's had great success with the pupils at Grangehurst. They won a clutch of awards at the National Schools Championships, including third place in the Pom Pom Dancing class. It's an activity that gives children an opportunity to work as a team and compete against others. Now one of Grangehurst's teachers is training to become a qualified cheerleading coach. She's taking a UK Cheerleading Association course which will allow her to coach children basic ground based techniques. We also feature the Rising Stars, the UK's Senior Cheerleading champions who demonstrate their amazing stunts, leaps and dancing prowess in a sport that's fast becoming a favourite activity for many young people.
