With four sports programs—basketball, flag football, soccer and cheerleading—Upward Sports provides a fun sports experience based on healthy competition for kids.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”About Upward Basketball” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”white-text”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]To avoid player and parent burnout, Upward Sports leagues limit the time commitment to one practice and one game per week. Upward Sports leagues are 10-week programs that incorporate character-building principals into the sports experience. Promotes character and fun for every child by:
- Providing an evaluation system that promotes equal and competitive teams.
- Implementing a substitution system for each team, allowing every child equal playing time.
- Creating the opportunity for every child to learn and improve their skills in the sport.
