Promoting the Discovery of Jesus through Sports

Upward Sports is about more than being an athlete...

Mental Development

Athletes will learn right from wrong in order to make decisions both on and off the court. They will also discover the rules and objectives of the game.

Social Awareness

Upward provides the opportunity to foster healthy relationships with teammates through sportsmanship and teamwork, while learning the importance of putting others' needs above their own.

Athletic Improvement

Staying active and building a strong athletic foundation will help athletes compete at their highest level.

Spiritual Discovery

Athletes will learn that their self-worth and identity are not defined by wins or losses, or even how they perform in a particular game. Through intentional biblical character lessons, athletes will discover their life's purpose and their part in God's Big Story.

Upward Sports takes place during the winter season, with practices starting in November and games running through January and February.
