The six talented performers will head to Orlando next month for the World Cheerleading Championship.
A talented group of cheerleaders from Stirling are ready to make some noise as they head Stateside to show their talents for the world.
The youngsters – Freya Speirs, Mollie Manton, Jessica McAra, Amelia Aitken, Heather Shore and Hayley Stewart – represent a pair of local dance schools and will join up with Team Scotland for the World Cheerleading Championship in Orlando in April.
Between them, the girls represent Kay Klass Dance, based in Raploch, and DMC Allstars, based in Springkerse.
But they have launched a bid for funding to help them achieve their ambitions of getting to Florida and perform on the biggest stage as part of the Scottish squad of 72 performers.
The trip to Orlando will include competing, as well as training in state-of-the-art facilities with world-class instructors. The event will see over 10,000 athletes from more than 140 member countries taking part.
A JustGiving page has been launched to help with the funding goal, with a group of parents hoping to raise a target goal of £450 and get some Stirling support behind the girls.
On the page, it says: “We are raising funds to help these local, Stirling girls realise their dreams and join the national team on their quest to be world champions.
“This is an incredible opportunity for these young athletes, and any local support would make a significant difference in helping them represent both Scotland and the Stirling area on the world stage.”
