Why Upward Basketball?
Upward Basketball 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, we are able to build a 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
- 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 gameday award following every game
Awards night following the season with an award for every child
- Maximizing ministry opportunities by exposing players to Scripture-based devotions during each practice and spectators to halftime testimonies each gameday.
Why Upward Cheerleading?
Upward Cheerleading is designed to build an atmosphere catered to bringing out the Winner in EVERY child through: 
- Maximizing the family schedule by having only one hour of practice and cheering at one game each week
- Equipping coaches to minister by providing extensive teaching materials
- Providing opportunities to promote other church ministries to all participants and their families
- Maximizing ministry opportunities by exposing players to Scripture-based devotions during each practice and spectators to halftime testimonies each gameday.
- Encouraging each cheerleader with a gameday award following every game
- Providing opportunities to see changed hearts and lives among children, family members, and volunteers who experience an Upward ministry.
