GET YOUR pom-poms at the ready and prepare to step into the world of Glee.

Fleming Park Leisure Centre in Eastleigh is launching its very own cheerleading course, complete with stunts, routines and tumbles.

The ten-week course starts on May 17, and will take place every Monday, between 4.30pm and 5.30pm.

The course, which is led by a qualified cheerleading coach, has been made possible thanks to the Sports Limited Fund, and is open to 11 to 16-year-olds.

Elaine Blowers, from Fleming Park Leisure Centre, said: “Cheerleading is a new and exciting activity for young people to try. It is very ‘hip’ at the moment, especially due to Glee and other new American soaps.”

Each session costs £1. To take part call 023 8068 4800 or visit Fleming Park Leisure Centre in Eastleigh.
