Providing the Best

Sports Experience for Every Child

Winning is about so much more

than the final score

Upward is 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.

Welcome to The Church at Polaris Upward, where...

Every Child PLAYS, Every Child Learns, Every Child is a WINNER!!

Sports are a great way for children to learn about teamwork, respect for authority and sportsmanship. The sad part is all those things are being lost in today's sporting society. Here at The Church at Polaris UPWARD, these key essentials are included to create the best basketball experience for every child that participates. Our league is designed to reveal the winner in every child. Every child plays. Every child learns. Every child IS a Winner!

Our league endeavors to promote Character and Self-Esteem in Every Child

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

The emphasis is placed on having fun and good sportsmanship, not the scoreboard and standings.

UPWARD CHEERLEADING!

We have excellent cheer advisors for each squad of girls. Your K-6th grade daughter or grand-daughter will LOVE this cheer experience!!

Contact Nanci Griffith for more info.

Weather Related Game & Practice Cancellations

**NO WEATHER RELATED BULLETINS AT THIS TIME***

Your coach will always know if practice or games have been cancelled. We will also post a notification on this website if there is a need to cancel. Any weather related cancellation notices will be in bold above this paragraph. Basically, all League practices and games will go on as scheduled unless a LEVEL 2 or 3 SNOW EMERGENCY is issued by either Fanklin or Delaware counties OR, we deem it necessary to cancel due to severe weather conditions. Coaches may choose to cancel their practices, regardless, on their own. In the event that our game day must be cancelled, those games will not be made up.

UPWARD PRAYER PARTNERS

Thank you to those fervently praying for the success of this league behind the scenes. Our coaches would not be able to touch the many lives they touch each week without your diligence in prayer.

You may join our prayer team by simply adding our UPWARD league to your own prayer time. If you'd like, here are some sample prayers that you may print off and pray. Thank you so much for giving of your time in this vital area.
