Upward...

·         Is a sports ministry dedicated to promoting community outreach, developing volunteer leadership and sharing the love of Christ with children and their families.

·         Seeks to develop the self-esteem of each participant while teaching sportsmanship, character, athletic skills and respect for authority in every situation.

·         Keeps sportsmanship and competitiveness in proper perspective by not maintaining league standings in any division. 

·         Believes in the importance of family and therefore maximizes the family schedule by having only one hour of practice and one game each week.

·         Equips coaches and referees to build relationships and focus on the children by providing extensive teaching tools and simplified game format.

·         Allows our coaches to focus on building relationships with players and their families instead of game strategy by having set substitution system where all players are allowed equal playing time and equal opportunity for improvement.

·         Exposes players to Scripture-based devotions during each practice and spectators to halftime or post-game testimonies on game day.
