Currently, more than 500,000 children (K4- sixth grade) participate in Upward sports leagues. For over 14 years, Upward has been conducting exciting children’s sport leagues and camps in the US and around the world.

Upward, the world’s largest Christian sports program for children, was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some 1 million people around the world play, coach, referee, or volunteer in Upward sports leagues and camps hosted by more than 2,600 churches. Anyone – children and volunteers of any faith or no faith – can participate in Upward sports. Specifically designed for children in K5- sixth grade, Upward aims to bring out “the winner” in every child – regardless of the game’s 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.

We would love to have you on our team! Whether you want to play basketball, soccer, flag football or cheer, Upward has a league or camp near you.
