Upward Basketball and Cheerleading
| Coaches: Download Training Presentation Here |
Registration for the exciting 2011-12 Upward Basketball and Cheerleading league is almost here! Our sports league is for boys and girls, PreK through 6th grade. Our goal is to provide a first-class sports experience that emphasizes healthy competition, sportsmanship, skills building and fun versus the "win-at-all-costs" mentality found in many children sports leagues.
On top of equipping children with sport fundamentals needed to participate at the next level, some unique features to Upward Sports are:
- Each child is evaluated before the team selection process to create balanced teams that are competitive.
- A unique substitution system which guarantees every child equal playing time.
- We aim to teach both athletic skill as well as values for success on and off the playing field.
- We prioritize a family friendly schedule by conducting one-hour practices and games each week.
- With supportive coaches and a positive sports environment, we strive to bring out "the winner" in every child regardless of the game's score.
How Do I Sign Up?
There are three easy ways to sign up

uniform. Cheerleaders will participate in an orientation and discuss
