UPWARD Basketball and Cheerleading

UPWARD Upward Basketball and Upward Cheerleading offer a break from the norm. The primary focus of Upward is to develop the Winner in EVERY child, not just a few. By keeping this goal in mind, we are able to build a league that promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in all who participate through:
  • Sportsmanship and competitiveness in proper perspective by not maintaining league standings in any division.
  • Maximizing the family schedule by having only one hour of practice and one game each week.
  • Encouraging each player with a gameday award following every game.
Registration forms are available from Mary Ann Burns or at several locations around the church. Parents may drop off their registration forms any time from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

The early registration cost per child for basketball or cheerleading is $60; after November 2, the cost is $70.
