TRAMPOLINING: Dominic Porter is bouncing his way towards the sport's highest levels at the age of nine.
The Midland and county schools U-11s champion has picked up his grade three level, one before the national stage.
Porter, a pupil at The Knoll School in Manor Avenue, Kidderminster, is now fourth in the country at his age group.
After getting involved at just five-years-old, he is being tipped for great things and trains intensively on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
But Porter is also a big football fan, playing for Kidderminster Lions and enjoying Kidderminster Harriers' soccer schools.
His mother Lynn said: "Though he's been for training with the regional squad, he's too young to be competing with children of 15 or 16 for national training.
"But his coach is very confident that next year he will step up and make the squad. Making grade three is fairly difficult."
