They have been anchored in the community for years and began their business at the old cotton mill. It was a space they quickly outgrew within six months as enrollment soared. Their next location also proved problematic. \u201cIf it was hot outside, it was really hot in there,\u201d Tiffany remembered. \u201cIf it was cold outside, it was really, really cold!\u201d They\u2019d made some adaptations to the building, but it was never comfortable enough that anyone wanted to be there 10 to 12 hours a day \u2014 a crucial shortcoming. \u201cMost of our kids are doing hard, physical activity. You don\u2019t want to do that when you\u2019re freezing, and you don\u2019t want to do that when you\u2019re sweltering!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point, they received word that the Stonebridge Academy school was up for sale, which seemed to be just what they were looking for. They purchased it to grow their programs and increase their community involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is exactly what they\u2019ve done. Magic Athletics offers tumbling, ninja, cheerleading classes, and competition cheer. Tiffany and Liam also own a party rental business with bounce houses and water slides \u2014 ideal for birthday parties, as most parents will attest. And if that were not enough, the Calverts also run Fayetteville Fitness, which has its own array of programs and classes. Sitting around doesn\u2019t seem to be part of their daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The age range for Magic Athletics is broad. There are baby classes beginning at 6 months, but most of their focus is from age 2 to 18. There are also adult tumbling classes \u2014 but as Liam pointed out, \u201cthe adult classes are only 18 and older, so you\u2019re not going to be a 30-year-old in a class with a 12-year-old.\u201d In addition, there are options for private classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Story-1-photo1-9-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Story-1-photo1-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Story-1-photo1-9-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Story-1-photo1-9-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Brooke Snyder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Their community involvement is extensive and has come about organically. Both Liam and Tiffany are not only community members but also parents. It was obvious to them that many parents had to scramble for appropriate summer activities for their kids. In response, they recently opened up a summer camp. When the summer started, there were 13 kids. When it ended, there were 36. The numbers tell the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents also have to scramble when their kids are off from school for whatever reason, but the parents still have to work. Another of their offerings is providing an all-day outlet for kids when these situations arise. \u201cIt ensures that parents have a fun, safe place where their kids are constantly watched, but they\u2019re physically active and moving around. It\u2019s a good place to come to,\u201d Tiffany said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Calverts laud their amazing staff, who are like a family and form their own tight-knit little community together. Many of the staff are the kids of teachers, police officers, and firefighters in the community, and they understand the wants and needs of the community and how they would have been expected to be treated when they were kids. \u201cThey can count on us as much as we can count on them,\u201d Tiffany said. \u201cEverybody is willing to help out at any time because it really is a family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community connections are constant and ongoing. Because Magic Athletics offers adult programs, parents can drop off their kids for tumbling or cheer practice and then utilize the adult components of Magic Athletics \u2014 or simply take an hour for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every initiative the Calverts take keeps the community in mind. After COVID-19, for example, the city had difficulty getting its soccer program up and running again. Liam and Tiffany took it upon themselves to get the program up and running for four seasons \u2014 two years \u2014 until the town was ready to resume. But the Calverts made sure the games were played on city fields. So, the local links are constant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone says it takes a village to raise children,\u201d Tiffany concluded. \u201cI really believe that.\u201d Both Liam and Tiffany put that belief into action. It\u2019s an ethos that also extends to the community as a whole. They offer connection in what can be a very disconnected world. <strong>GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIFFANY AND Liam Calvert are the owners of Magic Athletics.
