Three-year-old Rocket Tot ‘wins’ #mannequinchallenge

One of Cramlington Rockets’ members has once again proved to be an internet sensation.

In the summer, a video of one of Northumberland-based Cramlington Rockets’ players dancing pitchside at Magic Weekend went viral with social media captivated by U14 Ollie’s “dance like nobody is watching” style….in front of 50,000 people.

This time it is three-year-old Rocket Tot, Daisy who ‘won’ the #mannequinchallenge with this effort while out shopping with her aunt and uncle.

With shoppers busily hunting for Black Friday bargains, Daisy took advantage of an empty display stand in the Metro Centre in Gateshead to perfectly model the latest fashion from Cramlington Rockets.

“We were amazed she stood so still” said uncle, Jeff Ball who captured the moment. “Normally she is a whirlwind of energy after Rocket Tots, the club’s toddler programme, so it made it even better to see.”

“Everyone else in the shop was loving it and she definitely didn’t look out of place alongside the other mannequins.”

“One of the games the Rocket Tots love to play is golden ninja, when the kids have to sneak up on the coach and freeze like statues when he turns around. It is one of Daisy’s favourite games so when we saw the empty pedestal, she jumped up and froze like a pro.”

Given most people don’t actually pretend to be mannequins when doing the mannequin challenge, so given that and the fact she is only three years old, we think it means she is the winner!”
