Having fun at Upward® practice!
Improve your dribbling, passing, and shooting skills while making new friends!

During your one hour practice each week, your coach will spend time teaching your team the FUNdamentals of soccer. Through the skills and drills you work on at practice, you and your new friends will grow as a team. 

Your entire team will look and feel like pros once you have your Upward uniforms. You should receive all of your Upward® items including uniform, car magnet, and other gear at your first practice. It is also during practice that your coach will spend some time sharing with you about what the Bible teaches. On top of all this, because you are an Upward® player, you will be able to log onto www.TeamUpward.com. This website has been specifically designed for all Upward® players to learn even more about their sport, play interactive games and review the Bible verses shared with them each week.

Upward® practice promises to be a place where you will learn, play and have a lot of FUN!

Upward® game days- Let the action begin!
Time to take all that you have learned during your practices and put it to work as a team! Game days normally occur on Saturdays and each exciting game should last an hour. Come dressed to play in your uniform and ready to compete against other children your age. Right after the game, let your fans keep cheering you on as your coach recognizes you with one of the following stars:

The blue star represents Effort
The gold star represents Sportsmanship  
The gray star represents Offense  
The red star represents Defense  
The white star represents Christlikeness
