THE Durban Junior Majorettes recently did their coaches and province proud when they were placed first at the Champions of Champions President’s League.
The team, which was started last year by Keith Alho, Durban Girls’ High School coach, has gone from strength to strength. The team is made up of 21 girls from local primary schools.
Last year, the team came third in KZN at the South African Majorettes and Cheer Leading Association (SAMCA) Provincial Tournament, and were invited to the Nationals in Outschoorn and were placed 14th. This year the girls improved, coming second at the SAMCA tournament, and excelling at the Nationals in East London, where they placed first in drill, received gold for non-prop, bronze for mace group, silver in the flag group, silver in baton and were crowned 2019 primary champions in the President’s League
