What is Upward Basketball?
Upward Basketball is an evangelistic
sports ministry designed to promote community outreach, develop
volunteer leadership, and share the love of Christ with children and
their families, using something as simple as a basketball.
Upward promotes character and self-esteem in
every child by providing:
- A one hour practice and game each
week of the season
- An evaluation process to
provide equal opportunity for improvement
What
will each participant receive?
- Upward Reversible Basketball jersey
- Upward
Basketball
t-shirt
- Upward car magnet
- End-of-the-year award
What is Upward Cheerleading™?
Designed to increase your outreach efforts, Upward
Cheerleading attracts a group of children and their families who may
not be interested in participating in a basketball program.
Specifically designed for children K through 6th grade, Upward
Cheerleading seeks to develop the self-esteem of each participant,
while teaching respect for authority, leadership, character, and
cheerleading fundamentals.
What
makes Upward Cheerleading different?
Upward seeks to build cheerleaders and their
families by:
- Allowing for only one hour of
practice and one hour of cheering at games each week.
- Training
coaches to teach and encourage.
- Exposing
children to Scripture-based devotions each week and halftime devotions
for spectators each week.
- Seeking to
incorporate participants and their families into the local church after
the season is complete.
- This full-service
program can be easily implemented alongside your existing Upward
Basketball program. Upward Unlimited provides your cheerleading
director and volunteers with the tools necessary to effectively conduct
a league.
What
will each participant receive?
- Cheerleading uniform
- Cheer pompoms
- Cheer
Megaphone
- Upward car magnet
- Matching
hair riibbon
- End-of-the-Year
award
