Upward Basketball and
Cheerleading
Why Upward
Basketball and Cheerleading?
From: upward.com
Upward Basketball and Cheerleading offers
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, this is a basketball and
cheerleading league that promotes salvation, character, and
self-esteem in all who participate through:
- Keeping 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
- Equipping coaches and referees to minister by providing
extensive teaching tools and resources
- Providing opportunities to promote other church ministries
to all participants and their families
- Allowing the coach to focus on ministering to children and
their families, instead of game strategy, by having a set
substitution system where all players are allowed equal
playing time and equal opportunity for improvement
- Encouraging each player with a game day award following
every game
- Maximizing ministry opportunities by exposing players to
Scripture-based devotions during each practice and spectators
to halftime testimonies each game day
