Don’t let the length of the routines fool you. More than a routine develops from the time spent training and preparing for their competitive moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
April Schettler, who works with Calvert at MA, explains, \u201cThey\u2019re learning hand-eye coordination, taking direction, and how to be in front of a crowd. We always set a goal to hit; we call it \u2018hit zero.\u2019\u201d \u201cHitting zero\u201d doesn\u2019t only mean there are no bobbles or miscounts. It means everyone gave 100% to the routine and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teams\u2019 commitment and hard work have taken them to national competitions. In the 2021-2022 season, the teams won their place at the national championships in Orlando, Florida.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur teams did phenomenal jobs. We walked away with several national top ten finishes,\u201d said Schettler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not just national championship awards coming out of their gym; it\u2019s college scholarships, too. All Star Cheer students received scholarships from Austin Peay, UT Southern, Wallace State Community College, and other colleges – some fully paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s more than tumbling and cheer going on at Magic Athletics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What kid doesn\u2019t like the sound of ninja athletics? Warriors from ages 4 to 14 train at the facility, spurred on by visions of climbing that last wall and ringing the bell on national television. Activities like tire runs, warped wall runs, and rock wall climbs focus on agility, speed, strength, and hand-eye coordination to develop participants into all-around athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This spring, MA managed Fayetteville\u2019s six-week youth soccer program played on the new city fields across from Don Davidson Park. It was a successful venture and is likely to be repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calvert said, \u201cOur purchase of the previous Stone Bridge Academy School has opened up new opportunities, including summer camps, space rentals, and tutoring. Also, it allows us to expand into other ventures benefitting our community such as after-school care, painting classes, and other educational activities unrelated to sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n MA already hosts birthday parties and offers bounce houses and expects to add more equipment, activities, and events like batting cages and motivational speakers. Schletter said, \u201cThere\u2019s just a lot of things we want to bring to the community to help these parents out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When considering athletic adventures for your child, look at all that MA has to offer. MA adds new programs regularly. You\u2019ll be cheering with excitement alongside and for your young athlete. You might say it\u2019s magic!
