OUR LEAGUES
TWO SPORTS, ONE GOAL.
UPWARD SOCCER
SPRING & FALLThe world's most popular sport keeps growing at the youth level here in the States. Our soccer league helps young athletes build the skills to compete at the next level while learning what matters more than the scoreboard.
SEASON EVALUATIONS BEFORE OPENING DAY
UPWARD BASKETBALL
WINTERPractices through the week and games on Sunday afternoons in our gym. Same approach as soccer: real coaching, real skill development, and a devotion every week that a kid can actually carry home.
SEASON GAMES ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS
Registration opens ahead of each season. If the window is closed, email us and we'll put you on the list for next time.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
NOT JUST ANOTHER REC LEAGUE.
LESS TIME COMMITMENT
One practice and one game a week. Your family keeps its evenings.
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES
A short devotion at every practice, and coaches who model what they're teaching.
SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Screened, trained volunteers and a gym where every kid gets treated the same.
EVERYBODY PLAYS
Equal playing time and balanced teams, so the whole roster develops instead of the top five.
HOW A SEASON RUNS
FROM SIGN-UP TO TROPHY.
STEP ONE
REGISTER
Sign your child up online while the season's window is open.
STEP TWO
EVALUATIONS
One short session so we can build teams that are actually even.
STEP THREE
PRACTICES
Weekly practice with skill work and a devotion, run by your team's coach.
STEP FOUR
GAME DAYS
Games run through the season, and every player gets equal time on the floor.
COACHES & VOLUNTEERS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE SPORT.
Coaches, referees, concessions, and game-day help. Upward provides the practice plans and the devotions, so what we need most is adults willing to show up and take an interest in a kid for a season.
A lot of our volunteers started because their own child signed up, and stayed long after that kid aged out.
