  • Leaping into the air all together are young members of the Donegal High School football cheerleaders squad in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. On a Saturday afternoon as their team called the Braves take a break during their inter-school match, the young ladies wearing matching Irish-green colours leap in free manoeuvre on the instructions of their trainer. They have left their pom-poms on the grass and we see the rest of the sports-loving crowd in the bleachers on the far side of the pitch. Some choose to do mid-air leg splits, some a rather unelaborate twist and of some we only see arms merging with other bodies while others barely make it off the ground, such is their poor timing but there is generally lots of effort and energy in this brief spontaneous moment.
