Upward Sports is an evangelistic sports ministry designed to promote community outreach, develop volunteer leadership, and share the love of Christ with children and their families, using something as simple as the game of basketball.  Upward promotes salvation, character and self-esteem in every child, while teaching sportsmanship, athletic skills, and respect for authority in every situation.









Upward Soccer and Basketball are open to the community for boys and girls, kindergarten through 8th grade.  Skill evaluations are conducted prior to team assignments to insure evenly matched teams are formed.  Every child is given an opportunity to play at least half of the game, regardless of his or her abilities. Adult and teen volunteers are used for coaching, refereeing, teaching, record keeping, organizing, and other tasks.
