    • Learning from the early technological adaptations
    • Learning from virtual worship services
    • Learning from interactions between churches and governments
    • Learning the power of online giving
    • Learning about the yearning from groups
    • Learning about the power of an intentional prayer ministry

                  Who is Upward Sports?

                    • Upward Sports is the World’s largest Christian youth sports organization, dedicated to partnering with local churches to use sports outreach to reach the community.
                    • Upward Sports offers basketball, cheerleading, soccer, flag football, volleyball, baseball, and soccer as a league offering.
                    • When partnering with Upward Sports, your church can reach the community, attract young families, and share the Gospel.
                    • Upward Sports will customize your sports outreach strategy to support your church budget and community needs. We know one size does not fit all.
                    • Start the year off right by using sports as part of your outreach ministry!
                    • Are you looking to engage new families, bless your community, or mobilize your congregation to serve? Consider adding sports ministry in 2025. If you have a gym, field space, or even access to a facility consider Upward Sports. Upward Sports stands ready to support your church in creating a first-class, organized, intentional outreach ministry… that tells families, “you are welcome here!”
                    • Whether you already have your own sports ministry at your church, looking to start sports ministry for the first time, check out Upward Sports. It’s the game changing outreach ministry in this new year!
