Upward Basketball

Registration for the 2011-2012 season begins October 1, 2011.

Upward Basketball teaches children to play together as a team, to uplift one another’s strengths and gifts. This is more than a basketball league for boys and girls in kindergarten to grade 6. The Upward slogan says it all:

“Every child plays. Every child learns. Every child is a winner.”

Upward Basketball is a first-class sports experience that emphasizes healthy competition, sportsmanship, skills building and fun versus the “win-at-all-costs” mentality found in many children sports leagues. Upward Sports provides the Best Sports Experience for every child, regardless of prior experience or skill level. Upward Sports emphases that winning is about so much more than the final score.
