Providing the Best Sports Experience for Every Child

Mission Statement:

“To introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports.”

Upward is a first-class sports experience that emphasizes healthy competition, sportsmanship and fun, while building the skills and fundamentals needed for each individual sport.  We try to look past the “win-at-all-costs” mentality found in many children sports leagues, because winning is about so much more than the final score.  Currently, more than 500,000 children (K3 – sixth grade) participate in Upward Sports leagues.  For over 14 years, Upward has been conducting exciting children’s sport leagues and camps in the US and around the world.

We currently offer Upward Basketball with Cheerleading and Flag Football with Cheerleading as the witnessing tools of outreach to our community.  It consists of five different age groups/leagues (“K League”, 1st-2nd Grade, 3rd-4th Grade, 5th-6th Grade, and 7th-8th Grade).  Our “K League” ranges from K-3 thru Kindergarten for both boys and girls.  We aim to have separate leagues for both genders if the number of children allow for it.  The Lord continues to bless this ministry in a mighty way, and we anticipate continued growth every year.  We are in the process of developing Upward Basketball and Cheerleading Camps coming within the summer of 2011.

The Upward motto is “Every child plays, every child learns, every child is a Winner” and we strive to ensure that we make an individual connection with every child that participates in the Upward program.  We invite you to experience this one-of-a-kind sporting event(s) and allow us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ while building self-esteem and confidence.

Thank you for your interest in the Upward Sports Program.  Please contact the church office at (256) 757-1310 or by email at erik.hunt@fbccenterstar.org if we may be of any assistance to you and/or your family.
