Upward Basketball and Cheerleading League
Upward is a Christian-based sports league whose mission is the introduce Jesus Christ by creating
opportunities to serve through sports. Upward promotes character and self-esteem. Participating in this league
will give your child a chance to experience good sportsmanship on and off the court and the opportunity to
develop new friendships.
