                  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.
                  • 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.
                  • Now is the time to consider using sports as your 2025 outreach ministry! Schedule a call to learn more about launching a first-class, organized, intentional league in the new year!
