About Upward Sports

Upward Sports helps churches leverage the power of sports to connect with families in their community.

Our Mission

Promoting the Discovery of Jesus Through Sports

360 Progression: Play with Purpose

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. – Luke 2:52

To Play With Purpose means you make smart decisions, improve in your physical development, discover your life’s purpose, and put others needs before your own.

It’s more than just the game. It’s every practice, every drill, every pivot, every pass and shot. Become more than just an athlete.

The driving purpose behind Upward Sports is a desire to help young athletes PLAY WITH PURPOSE.

Upward Sports develops the total athlete in the following four areas:

  • Mentally – Make wise decisions
  • Athletically – Improve physical abilities
  • Spiritually – Embrace life’s purpose
  • Socially – Foster healthy relationships
