Upward Basketball & Cheerleading

Parents and guardians, make plans now to join us for our end of season Upward Celebration Night on Friday, March 20, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Hatheway Hall on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College!


The Upward basketball & cheerleading ministry is for children Pre-K (4 years by September 1)-8th grade.  Upward provides a fun and safe environment for the family.  Upward Sports develops total athletes mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially - producing players who excel both on and off the court.


Our mission is to promote the discovery of Jesus Christ through sports.


All practices and games are played at Calvary Baptist Church.  Practices and games will both be 1 hour each.  


UPWARD UPDATE:

We want to confirm that Calvary WILL be hosting games our final week of Upward basketball  and cheerleading tomorrow. We are taking several added precautions in preparation which include:


  • • Added spacing between chairs
  • • Sanitization of basketballs between periods
  • • Availability of multiple hand sanitization units


Please remember, if you or your child/family member have displayed any symptoms of illness, including cough and fever, please stay home. Also, we need to inform you that our Upward Celebration Night scheduled for Friday, March 20, at Hatheway Hall on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College has been cancelled. We hope each of our Upward families can join us tomorrow for our final game day where we will recognize players and distribute certificates and end of season gifts. It has been a wonderful season of Upward basketball and cheerleading that has included (to this point) 16 participants making salvation decisions and we are praising God for it all! Thank you to all of our players, cheerleaders, parents and guardians, coaches, referees, and all other volunteers for making this season possible!
