UPWARD 2013

UPWARD is for ages Kindergarten - 6th grade. EVERY CHILD PLAY. EVERY CHILD LEARNS. UPWARD promotes character and self-esteem in every child by:

• Providing an evaluation system that promotes equal teams and opportunities
• Establishing a one-hour practice and game each week
• Implementing a substitution system for each team, allowing every child equal playing time
• Creating the opportunity for every child to learn the skills of the game

Upward is more than a game. Your child will have fun learning or improving their sport specific skills through Upward. Participating in this league will give your child a chance to experience good sportsmanship on and off the court. While playing or cheering for Upward Basketball, your child will also receive a special recognition award after every game and have the opportunity to develop new friendships.

Volunteering: We need you to help make the UPWARD program a success at FBC! There are many ways to volunteer your time, talents or both. Ministry needs are: Prayer partners, Referees, Concessions, Coaches, Testimony/Devotion Leaders. What part will you play?
