About Upward
We offer Upward Basketball, Cheerleading, and Soccer for children and youth. Upward emphasizes all-round development of the player mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. The goals of Upward are to:
- Promote character and self-esteem in every child;
- Help players learn to make wise decisions;
- Improve physical abilities;
- Recognize and embrace life’s purpose;
- Foster healthy relationships;
- Allow each child to connect with God and others.
We are looking for volunteers with a passion for God and a love for children who are willing to invest 2 hours a week. Sign up to coach a soccer team, basketball team, cheerleading squad, or referee.
During the summer, we offer one week, half-day basketball and cheer camps. These camps enable participants to enhance their skills and continue the emphasis on developing the total person.
If you have any questions, please email Chris Rogers.
Spring Soccer Registration Is Now Open!
Registration for spring soccer is now open! Please use the links below to sign up your athlete:
Fees
For returning players, the registration fee is $75 with a $15 discount if you register by March 11. For new players, the registration fee is $140 with a $15 discount if you register by March 11.
Evaluations
Evaluations will be Saturday, March 11 from 9:00-11:00 AM at the church. Only new registrations need to attend evaluations. Just a reminder that these are not tryouts. They are a way to gauge skill level, and, after other factors (coach requests, carpooling, practice night requests), the results of evaluations may be used to balance team rosters. It is also a great way to introduce your athlete to the facility (especially if it is their first season) so they are more comfortable at the first practice.
Practices
Practices will start the week of March 20. We will practice Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:30PM and 6:30PM. Your athlete will practice once per week.
Schedule
Practices will start the week of March 20. We will practice Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:30PM and 6:30PM. Your athlete will practice once per week.
The first games will be April 1, and we will play 7 games. We will not have games on Easter weekend (April 8). Our last game and the end-of-season celebration will be on May 20.
Volunteer to Coach!
We will need coaches! If you are interested in coaching this season, contact Chris Rogers (including those of you that are returning). First come, first served for practice day and time! So, let me know your division, when you want to practice, and your team’s name. We are always looking for new concession stand volunteers as well.
