My child could not be happier with her experience at Southern Heat. She has cheered elsewhere and was wanting to leave the sport before making the switch for this year, but she has had the best experience with her teams since her move. The coaches are wonderful, prioritizing safety and technique over speed of skill acquisition, which is very important to us. They support the development of the athlete as a whole, challenging and motivating athletes through fear and confidence issues off and on the floor. It is apparent that they care for every athlete walking through the door, regardless of level or investment. The gym and athlete culture is such a reflection of this. The other athletes have been so kind and welcoming to our girl. The growth in our daughter has been astounding, and we're so happy she's fallen back in love with the sport.

My daughter has been with Southern Heat for 3 years. I cannot thank the coaches enough for all their hard work and dedication. They pour their heart into each athlete. My daughter is very shy and self conscience by nature, and I have watched them turn her into a fierce competitive cheerleader. Not only has she continued to perfect her cheering skills, she has also mastered team bonding. She has learned what it takes to be a team, trusting her coaches and teammates to be the All-Star family that they are.

We had an unfortunate encounter with the facility owner (shoulder-length black hair), which left a negative impression. This was my daughter’s first time at Southern Heat & will be her last. My daughter was so excited to try out for cheer. However at the end of the tryouts, the owner approached me & proceeded to tell me that my daughter wouldn’t give the Coach a high five & that in her “culture “not giving high fives was considered as disrespectful that she’s been a teacher for so many years & It’s extremely disrespectful.I asked if my daughter's refusal was conveyed rudely, to which the owner replied that she politely said 'no, thank you.' I would have understood if my daughter's behavior was inappropriate, Yet if my daughter doesn’t feel comfortable giving a high five to someone she just met she can 100% say No, Thank you. Nevertheless, considering my daughter’s shy nature & age, I found the owner's reaction excessive & ridiculous. Every time I would try & talk to the owner she kept talking louder & wouldn’t let me say a word. Until I told her to be quiet and let me talk. She proceeds to tell me that my child wouldn’t be a great fit even though she said was willing to give my child a second chance…? She acted like I wanted my daughter to go back ( I do not). I definitely met my first Karen today. God was testing me that day for sure. The owner owes me and my daughter an apology. Just a warning to all parents out there. It was definitely a red flag for me. I am so glad I never signed her up that day.
