Upward's Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the 360 Progression, a uniquely designed total sports experience that adapts and expands as players grow in their personal athletic journeys. The 360 Progression develops total athletes mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially – producing players who excel both on and off the field, and to promote the discovery of Jesus through sports.

Upward Summer Basketball Camp

Curious about Upward Basketball?  Want to see if it is a good fit for your child but you don't want to commit to a full season just yet?  Come join our Upward Summer Basketball camps.  These camps are designed to give your child a general idea of what we do during a regular season of Upward Basketball.

We are sorry to announce that we are unable to provide an Upward Summer Cheer Camp this year.  Please check with us at the end of August for the plans we have for our regular season.  If you have any questions, please contact the League Director at:  upward@lifepointealliance.org.

Practices are only one day a week for one hour

Games begin for Level 4, the second weekend of January, are one hour in length and are held in the gym at LifePointe Alliance Church. Levels 1-3, the second weekend of February. We are not a traveling league.

Practice schedules are set up based on the availability of our volunteer coaches. Once the evaluations are over, we put the practice schedule together, run the draft, and then give the rosters to the coaches who then contact their teams.

We enable our families to pick ONE night that they CANNOT practice. They put this on their child's registration form and this is then entered into our Upward software program before we run the draft. We work hard to try to accommodate our families' schedules but with over usually 165 players or more each season, it is not possible for us to handle everyone's personal schedules.

For the 2020-2021 season, Level 4 game season begins January 8 and 9, 2021, (grades 6-12) and ends February 5 and 6, 2021. Our 9th-12th grade boys' division games are held on Friday evenings. 6th-10th grade girls and 6th-8th grade boys will be held on Saturdays. For the Level 1-3, K-5th divisions, games begin February 13, 2021 and end March 13, 2021, all Saturday games.

The Game Schedule will be provided once practices are scheduled.
