Why Upward Basketball and Cheerleading?
From: upward.com
Upward Basketball and Cheerleading 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, this is a basketball and cheerleading 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
- Providing opportunities to promote other church ministries to all participants
and their families
- 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 game day award following every game
- Maximizing ministry opportunities by exposing players to Scripture-based
devotions during each practice and spectators to halftime testimonies each
game day
