The DAZL Diamonds - Boy Cheerleaders!!

I was on the BBC Iplayer website and came across this documentary, which is part of the Wonderland Documentary series which are is on BBC 2 on Wednesdays. Its basically about the effects positive influences can have on young people, and you see the way in which lives can be changed through people investing in the potential of other's or the programme website says

'On a South Leeds estate in the heart of Rugby League territory, a group of nine young boys are preparing for competition. But they are not taking on Bradford Northern or Hull Kingston Rovers. This is a documentary about Britain's leading all-boys cheerleading team - the DAZL Diamonds and their coach Ian Rodley.

Director James Newton follows the team and their families as the boys fluff up their pom poms and prepare for the National Championships in Coventry, where they hope to be the first boys team to lift the trophy - a win which could change their lives forever. '

Above is the clip of 2 parts, which were class, but there was also a really good bit when, a mum said of boys 'they can either get it spot on or be a bag of shite' Brilliant real drama.

I would recomendit, if you can, watching the whole thing on the BBC I Player. It was Good Tv for a change..
