Why Upward

A Sports Program That Teaches Skills for Sports & Values for Life

In an era of sports when trash talking, win-at-all-cost mentalities and fights on the field seem to be the norm, it’s no wonder that 70 percent1 of U.S. children playing organized sports will quit by age 13 and never play again. Families all over the US, believing that sports can be a positive experience, are participating in an unconventional youth sports league which teaches that the process of competition is just as important as the outcome.

For more than 13 years area churches have hosted sports leagues through Upward Sports—the world’s largest Christian sports league for children—coaching and mentoring more than 1,000 area kids. The churches offer four Upward Sports leagues: basketball, flag football, soccer and cheerleading.

Focusing on healthy competition and positive sports environments that build strong self-confidence, Upward Sports equips churches with everything needed to run a competitive but fun, 10-week sports program for children K5 – 8th grade. Each year, more than 1 million people play, coach, referee or volunteer in Upward Sports Leagues. To avoid player and parent burn out, Upward Sports limits time commitments to one practice and one game per week. Other distinctive aspects of Upward Sports Leagues include:

  • Unique substitution system designed to provide every child equal playing time.
  • Children compete against equally matched opponents.
  • Competitive games with strict adherence to a proprietary drafting system that balances talent on each team.
  • Supportive coaches that bring out the winner in every child regardless of the game's score.
