ABOUT UPWARD BASKETBALL---

Through Upward Basketball, children are exposed to quality coaching and sport development. Upward provides first class, organized and detailed sports programming. Unique aspects of Upward include an evaluation system that promotes equal and competitive teams as well as a substitution system which allows for equal playing time for all participants. Upward emphasizes character and integrity instead of a “win at all costs” mentality associated with today’s sports world.

UPWARD SUNDAY

Upward Sunday was February 14, 2010.  All of our Upward players, coaches and family were invited to attend our Sunday Morning Worship Service, which was followed by a meal in our gym.  Individual player pictures were taken as well.  We had a great time of fellowship and fun with our church family and extended Upward Family!

UPWARD CHARITY COACHES GAME

On March 17, 2009 we had our first Upward Charity Coaches Game.  The coaches of our Upward 2009 Season played in a game against each other along with a slam dunk contest, giveaways and lots of fun.  Everyone attending was asked to bring a canned food item that was donated to the Lombard Food Pantry.  A GREAT night of entertainment and fun that wrapped up our 2009 season!

For the 2010 Season, the Upward Coaches Charity Game will be on Saturday, March 13 at 7:00 pm.

UPWARD AWARDS NIGHT

At the end of every season, we wind things down by having Upward Awards Night.  All season participants are invited to come for an evening of recognition, entertainment and fellowship.  Each player is awarded a gift and their season picture.  There are individual awards given as well as a video that sums up the entire season.  Always a great way to relive an exciting season and look forward to next year!

Awards Night for the 2010 Season will be on Friday, March 19.  Mark your calendars now!
