Aviator Allstars

The Schools Competition, hosted by Aviator Allstars took place on Thursday the 26th of March 2009 at the University of Leeds. The aim of the event was to showcase the progress that the school children had made throughout their cheerleading sessions with Aviator Allstars. The work the Aviators do in schools is to help promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage more young people to participate in sport. The competition offered the opportunity and experience for many school children who often wouldn't have the chance, to represent their school, and work towards a common goal with their team mates. With the support of Education Leeds, the Schools Sport Partnerships and Leeds City Council Community Sports Officers and Open XS Extended Services the event was a huge success.

Calverly Parkside School is coached by Rebecca Jayne-Hughes, and although the classes have just started, the participants are learning fast, as well as enjoying the games and team work.

This fun is coached by Amy Benville and Rebecca Jayne-Hughes and have already competed in their first competition, after training for only 8 weeks. Fantastic!

This fun session gives the children of Little London Community Primary School the opportunity to learn the basics of tumbling, and stunting, whilst also allowing them to interact and bond playing games and generating creativity with improvisation activities.

The after school club encourages students at Blenheim Primary School to take part in an activity that is different but also athletic. The children learn chants, motions and dance alongside the more mainstream aspects of cheerleading. Session by session the children are choreographing and learning a routine to use at competitions and displays.

Aviator Allstars teach a class of 20 at Christ Church Upper Armley Church of England Primary School on Mondays.

This highly energetic group enjoy a fun and lively after school session. Alongside experiencing the different skills of cheerleading, the group also participates in learning and team work games. Each session usually ends with a cheerleading competition, where the winners get to learn back flips or get thrown in the air.

The Leeds Celtic University Cheerleaders spent an afternoon with the children of St Paul's Junior School in Otley, Leeds. The children enjoyed watching the stunting demonstration and after learning some skills, the Celtics taught the children a dance routine to 'Rocking' Robin'.

The children entertained and impressed the Celtics by singing, dancing and acting in the school's 'Well-being' week assembly. The Leeds University cheerleaders were very honoured to close the assembly with their stunt routine and particularly enjoyed performing the dance they taught with the children.

Sophie Ibbotson, Celtic Cheerleader enthused, "We all had such a lovely afternoon. The children were all so well behaved and enthusiastic, they were a joy to teach. We all would love to have the opportunity to volunteer in schools again."
