About Upward Sports
Upward Sports is more than basketball and cheerleading—it’s a life-changing experience. As a worldwide recreational sports organization with a strong foundation in the Christian faith, Upward inspires young athletes to grow not only in their skills, but in their character, confidence, and relationship with God.
Our mission goes beyond the scoreboard. We are passionate about developing the whole athlete—mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially. Players learn the fundamentals of the game, but more importantly, they discover what it means to live with purpose, integrity, and faith.
Designed for athletes in Kindergarten–8th grade, Upward provides the perfect balance of healthy competition and age-appropriate training. Through teamwork, discipline, and encouragement, athletes gain more than wins and points—they gain lifelong values, friendships, and memories that shape who they are becoming.
With just one practice each week and one game every Saturday, the 9-week season (December–February) is built for family balance while delivering maximum impact. It’s not just about raising up athletes; it’s about raising up leaders who will shine on and off the court.
Join us this season and experience the difference—where athletes are built, faith is strengthened, and every game is played for a higher purpose..
