Play With Purpose
Upward Basketball is a community basketball league for boys and girls in K - 12th grade along with a fundamental and instructional league for K-5th graders. Upward uses an evaluation/draft process to create teams with equal skills so that teams are not unequal when playing. The 6th-12th graders/players learn and improve their skills with 6th-12th grade modifications to reflect more traditional MS/HS game format! Upward uses a substitution system that allows every child adequate playing time, making it fair and fun for everyone involved.

PLEASE NOTE: REFUND POLICY – We understand that there are times when families decide that they are not going to participate in Upward Sports. Please know that there is a lot of behind the scenes’ work that goes into preparing our coaches, rosters, ordering uniforms, and administration of this league. Our league is run based on the number of registrations that are received. To refund AFTER we have put together all of the league details, it is difficult to go back and have to rearrange what has already been prepared. Our Team has decided that after October 31, 2023, we will no longer issue refunds for any reason. We appreciate your understanding as we try to provide a positive environment for all of our volunteers and participants.
