Promoting the discovery of Jesus... through sports!
We are so excited to offer several seasons of Upward Sports. Throughout the year, we offer soccer, basketball (with cheer) and volleyball! We play indoors (in the air conditioning!) while learning the basics of the game and having a blast. Upward is Christ-centered and does not allow negativity toward the coaches or referees. There is a devotion at every practice and a testimony at every half of the game. We want to cultivate in each child an understanding of sports and good sportsman-like conduct, but also a better understanding of Jesus and their faith in Him.
