Upward Basketball and Cheerleading
Introducing children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports.
Upward Sports, the world's largest Christian sports program for children, was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some one million people around the world play, coach, referee or volunteer in Upward Sports Leagues and Camps hosted by more than 2,400 churches. Anyone – children and volunteers of any faith or no faith – can participate in Upward Sports. Specifically designed for children in Kindergarten - sixth grade, Upward Sports aims to bring out the winner in every child – regardless of the game's score.
Upward defines winning as learning and/or teaching lessons in the game of life. Parents, coaches and officials play a vital role in building the self-esteem and character of every child in the league. Players will look to their parents, coaches, and officials as models for sportsmanship, respect for authority, and positive attitudes. Together we can provide a lasting effect in these children that will last long after the end of the season.
