Summer typically means students are taking a break from learning but a local cheerleading company uses the summer as a key time to teach new skills to children.
Multiple camps, recreational tumbling and team practices are held during the summer at ACE of Hattiesburg.
Tumbling instructor Catherine Taylor said the summer is the gym's busiest time of the year.
“Students who purchased unlimited tumbling passes for the summer are able to take as many classes each day that is geared towards their skill level. Some kids are in the gym from 4 p.m. until we close at 8 p.m.”
Student Madison Eguia said she uses her pass to practice for upcoming school and all-star cheerleading seasons.
"I'm in here every day working on old and new skills," Eguia said. "I'm working on my full and I hope it's good at the end of the summer."
ACE Cheer Company of Hattiesburg is one of 15 gyms spread across Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Georgia. ACE is entering into its 17th season and ACE of Hattiesburg’s fourth season.
“ACE is the most magical place on Earth in my book,” said gym owner Brandon Roberts. “Its where dreams really do come true.”
